Where would you see one of these gumball machines in life?
How does the gum taste? Does each color taste different?

ARTIST: Wayne Thiebaud
(November 15, 1920- )
He is an American painter
whose most famous works are of cakes, pastries, boots, toilets, toys and lipsticks.
He is associated with the Pop art movement because of his interest in objects of mass culture,
although his works, executed during the fifties and sixties, slightly predate the works of the classic pop artists.
Thiebaud uses heavy pigment and exaggerated colors to depict his subjects
well-defined shadows characteristic of advertisements are almost always included in his work.
