The artwork titled “Park Place” was created by artist Wayne Thiebaud in 1993. It belongs to the New Realism art movement and falls within the cityscape genre.
In the artwork, a striking urban landscape is depicted with a seemingly exaggerated, dramatic perspective. The composition features a steep, ascending roadway flanked by tall buildings and lush green hills that plunge into deep valleys. The road at the forefront leads the viewer’s eye upward toward the distant structures, evoking a sense of depth and scale. The structures themselves take on a somewhat surreal, almost abstract form, illustrating Thiebaud’s characteristic style that combines realism with whimsical exaggeration. This blending of precise urban imagery and fantastical elements exemplifies Thiebaud’s innovative approach to cityscape within the New Realism movement.
