Born Morton Wayne Thiebaud on November 15, 1920, in Mesa, Arizona, his early life was one of constant movement, shaped by the demands of his father’s work and rooted in the devout faith of his Mormon upbringing.

A chart of Wayne Thiebaud's corpus mapped not by date but by subject. Spokes are what they painted; rings are when; and the threads between stars reveal the patrons and places that secretly connect them.
Each arm of the atlas gathers works by what they depict: portraits, sacred scenes, mythologies, and the scientific studies. Click a spoke to swing that cluster to the top.
Distance from the center marks time. The innermost ring is the earliest period; the outermost, the final years. Style matures as you move outward.
Coloured lines link works bound by the same patron, commission, or theme. Trace a context to watch related clusters light up across subjects.
