"Delicious Metropolis pairs painter Wayne Thiebaud's iconic
confections with cityscapes in similar shades; in his eyes,
Sacramento, California's pink skies and blue hills look sweet
enough to eat." --Martha Stewart Living
"What a clever idea it is to take Wayne Thiebaud's most notable
bodies of work--desserts and cityscapes--and place them in a book
side by side to illustrate similarities between them....
Delightful." --California Homes Magazine
