“Big Suckers” is a still life artwork by Wayne Thiebaud, created in 1971. It is associated with the Pop Art movement.
The artwork showcases a colorful array of lollipops, each bearing distinct patterns. They are meticulously arranged in a linear formation, characterized by their vibrant, whimsical designs, including spirals, stripes, and a heart symbol. The lollipops are depicted with a high degree of realism, accentuating their glossy surfaces and casting soft shadows. Thiebaud’s use of bold, contrasting colors and crisp lines imbues the piece with a playful yet precise aesthetic, emblematic of the Pop Art movement’s focus on everyday objects and consumer goods.
