'''Wayne Thiebaud''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|t|iː|b|oʊ}} {{respell|TEE|boh}}; born Morton Wayne Thiebaud; November 15, 1920 – December 25, 2021) was an American painter known for his colorful works depicting commonplace objects—pies, cakes, lipsticks, paint cans, ice cream cones, pastries, and hot dogs—as well as for his landscapes and [[figure painting]]s.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Halle |first=Howard |date=2023-05-01 |title=Who Was Wayne Thiebaud, and What Is His Place in American Art? |url=https://www.artnews.com/list/art-news/artists/who-was-wayne-thiebaud-bay-area-figurative-art-cakes-1234665954/background/ |access-date=2024-10-26 |website=ARTnews.com |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Wayne Thiebaud {{!}} Smithsonian American Art Museum |url=https://americanart.si.edu/artist/wayne-thiebaud-4776 |access-date=2024-10-26 |website=americanart.si.edu |language=en}}</ref> Thiebaud is regarded as one of the United States' most beloved and recognizable artists.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Article |first=Julia Halperin ShareShare This |date=2021-12-27 |title=The American Painter Wayne Thiebaud, Who Transformed Cakes Into Symbols of Joy and Longing, Has Died at 101 |url=https://news.artnet.com/art-world/the-artist-wayne-thiebaud-obituary-2055030 |access-date=2024-10-26 |website=Artnet News |language=en-US}}</ref> Thiebaud is associated with the [[pop art]] movement because of his interest in objects of [[mass culture]], although his early works, executed during the fifties and sixties, slightly predate the works of the classic pop artists.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Magazine |first=Smithsonian |title=Wayne Thiebaud Is Not a Pop Artist |url=https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/wayne-thiebaud-is-not-a-pop-artist-57060/ |access-date=2024-10-26 |website=Smithsonian Magazine |language=en}}</ref> Thiebaud used heavy [[pigment]] and exaggerated colors to depict his subjects, and the well-defined shadows characteristic of advertisements were almost always included in his work.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.berggruen.com/artists/wayne-thiebaud | title=Wayne Thiebaud - Artists - Berggruen Gallery }}</ref>

From 1938 to 1949, he worked as a cartoonist and designer in California and [[New York City]]. He served as an artist in the [[First Motion Picture Unit]] of the [[United States Army Air Forces]] from 1942 to 1945.<ref name="ThiebaudBerkson">{{Cite book|last1=Thiebaud|first1=Wayne|last2=Berkson|first2=Bill|author2-link=Bill Berkson|title=Figurative Works, 1959–1994: March 22–April 30, 1994|year=1994|publisher=Wiegand Gallery, College of Notre Dame|location=Belmont, CA|url={{GBurl|mZpLAQAAIAAJ}}|oclc=1195741314}}</ref>

In 1949, he enrolled at San Jose State College (now [[San José State University]]) before transferring to Sacramento State College (now [[California State University, Sacramento]]), where he earned a bachelor's degree in 1951 and a master's degree in 1952.<ref name="Wayne Thiebaud">{{Cite web |title=Wayne Thiebaud |url=https://achievement.org/achiever/wayne-thiebaud/ |access-date=2024-10-26 |website=Academy of Achievement |language=en-US}}</ref>

== Career ==
Thiebaud subsequently began teaching at [[Sacramento City College]].<ref name="Wayne Thiebaud"/> In 1960, he became assistant professor at the [[University of California, Davis]], where he remained through 1991 and influencing numerous art students. He held a [[Professor Emeritus]] title there up until his death in late 2021. He occasionally gave [[Pro bono publico|pro bono]] lectures at U.C. Davis.

On a leave of absence during 1956–57,  he spent time in [[New York City]], where he became friends with [[Elaine de Kooning|Elaine]] and [[Willem de Kooning]]<ref name=BrownNYTimes /> and [[Franz Kline]], and was much influenced by these abstractionists as well as by proto-pop artists [[Robert Rauschenberg]] and [[Jasper Johns]]. During this time, he began a series of very small paintings based on images of food displayed in windows, and he focused on their basic shapes.

Returning to California, he pursued this subject matter and style, isolating triangles, circles, squares, etc. He also co-founded the Artists Cooperative Gallery, now Artists Contemporary Gallery, and other cooperatives including Pond Farm, having been exposed to the concept of cooperatives in New York.<ref>{{Cite web |title= Wayne Thiebaud, Playful Painter of the Everyday, Dies at 101|website=[[The New York Times]] |date=December 26, 2021 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/26/obituaries/wayne-thiebaud-dead.html |last1=Kimmelman |first1=Michael }}</ref>

In 1960, he had his first solo show in [[San Francisco]] at the [[San Francisco Museum of Modern Art]],<ref>{{Cite web |last=Rourke |first=Mary |date=2021-12-26 |title=Wayne Thiebaud, who was a realist painter, has died |url=https://www.latimes.com/obituaries/story/2021-12-26/wayne-thiebaud-death-california-painter |access-date=2024-01-31 |website=Los Angeles Times |language=en-US}}</ref> and shows in [[New York City]] at the Staempfli and Tanager galleries. These shows received little notice, but two years later, a 1962 [[Sidney Janis]] Gallery exhibition in New York officially launched [[Pop Art]], bringing Thiebaud national recognition, although he disclaimed being anything other than a painter of illusionistic form.

In 1961, Thiebaud met and became friends with art dealer [[Allan Barry Stone|Allan Stone]] (1932–2006), the man who gave him his first "break."<ref name="ThiebaudBerkson" /> Stone was Thiebaud's dealer until Stone's death in 2006.<ref name=ASG>{{cite web|title=Gallery|url=http://www.allanstonegallery.com/gallery/|publisher=Allan Stone Gallery|access-date=October 1, 2013|archive-date=October 4, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131004215849/http://www.allanstonegallery.com/gallery/|url-status=dead}}</ref> Stone said of Thiebaud "I have had the pleasure of friendship with a complex and talented man, a terrific teacher and cook, the best raconteur in the west with a spin serve, and a great painter whose magical touch is exceeded only by his genuine modesty and humility.  Thiebaud's dedication to painting and his pursuit of excellence inspire all who are lucky enough to come in contact with him. He is a very special man."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Cleary |first=Linda |date=2014-04-11 |title=Day One-Hundred and One- Wayne Thiebaud- Staring at Objects |url=https://dayoftheartist.com/2014/04/11/day-one-hundred-and-one-wayne-thiebaud-staring-at-objects/ |access-date=2024-05-16 |website=Day of the Artist |language=en-US}}</ref> After Stone's death, Thiebaud's son [[Paul Thiebaud]] (1960–2010) took over as his dealer. [[Paul Thiebaud]] was a successful art dealer in his own right and had eponymous galleries in Manhattan and San Francisco; he died June 19, 2010.

In 1962, Thiebaud's work was included, along with [[Roy Lichtenstein]], [[Andy Warhol]], [[Jim Dine]], [[Phillip Hefferton]], [[Joe Goode]], [[Edward Ruscha]], and [[Robert Dowd (artist)|Robert Dowd]], in the historically important and ground-breaking "[[New Painting of Common Objects]]," curated by [[Walter Hopps]] at the Pasadena Art Museum (now the [[Norton Simon Museum]] at Pasadena).<ref name=NortonSimon>{{cite web|title=Museum History|url=http://www.nortonsimon.org/museum-history/|publisher=Norton Simon Museum|access-date=October 1, 2013}}</ref> This exhibition is considered to have been one of the first [[Pop Art]] exhibitions in the United States. These painters were part of a new movement, in a time of social unrest, which shocked the United States and the art world.

In 1963, he turned increasingly to figure painting: wooden and rigid, with each detail sharply emphasized. In 1964, he made his first prints at [[Crown Point Press]], and continued to make prints throughout his career. In 1967, his work was shown at the Biennale Internationale.

== Personal life and death ==
Thiebaud was married twice. With his first wife, Patricia Patterson, he had two children, one of whom is the [[model (art)|model]] and writer [[Twinka Thiebaud]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.aaa.si.edu/collections/interviews/oral-history-interview-wayne-thiebaud-12546|title=Oral history interview with Wayne Thiebaud, 2001 May 17–18|publisher=Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution|access-date=December 26, 2021}}</ref> With his second wife, Betty Jean Carr, he had a son, [[Paul Thiebaud|Paul LeBaron Thiebaud]], who became an art dealer. He also adopted Betty's son, Matthew.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Baker|first=Kenneth|title=Paul Thiebaud, art dealer son of painter, dies|date=June 30, 2010|work=[[San Francisco Chronicle]]|url=http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Paul-Thiebaud-art-dealer-son-of-painter-dies-3260365.php|access-date=December 26, 2021}}</ref>

== Work ==
[[File:WayneThiebaudThreeMachines.jpg|thumb|''Three Machines'', 1963, [[de Young Museum]], San Francisco]]
Thiebaud is well known for his paintings of [[production line]] objects found in [[diner]]s and [[cafeteria]]s, such as pies and pastries. As a young man in Long Beach, he worked at a cafe named ''Mile High and Red Hot'', where "Mile High" was [[ice cream]] and "Red Hot" was a [[hot dog]].<ref>{{cite book |last=Scheller |first=William |title= America, a history in art: the American journey told by painters, sculptors, photographers, and architects |publisher= [[Black Dog Publishing]] |year= 2008 }}</ref>

He was associated with the [[Pop art]] painters because of his interest in objects of [[mass culture]]; however, his works, executed during the 1950s and 1960s, slightly predate the works of the classic pop artists, suggesting that Thiebaud may have had an influence on the movement. Thiebaud employed heavy [[pigment]] and exaggerated colors to depict his subjects, and the well-defined shadows characteristic of advertisements are almost always included in his work.<ref name=McGuigan /> Thiebaud was averse to labels such as "fine art" versus "commercial art" and described himself as "just an old-fashioned painter".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.smithsonian.com/videos/category/arts-culture/thiebaud-on-being-a-pop-artist/|title=Thiebaud on Being a Pop Artist|work=[[Smithsonian (magazine)|Smithsonian]]|access-date=April 27, 2014|archive-date=April 27, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140427235238/http://www.smithsonian.com/videos/category/arts-culture/thiebaud-on-being-a-pop-artist/|url-status=dead}}</ref> He disliked [[Andy Warhol]]'s "flat" and "mechanical" paintings and did not consider himself a pop artist.<ref name="Boxer">{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/17/books/review/Boxer-t.html?_r=0|title=Life Is Sweet|last=Boxer|first=Sarah|date=February 17, 2008|work=[[New York Times]]|access-date=April 27, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Hodge|first=Susie|author-link=Susie Hodge|title=Why Your Five Year Old Could Not Have Done That: Modern Art Explained|year=2012|isbn=978-3-7913-4735-6|pages=42–43|publisher=Prestel |lccn=2012940064}}</ref>

In addition to pastries, Thiebaud  painted characters such as [[Mickey Mouse]] as well as [[landscape]]s, streetscapes, and cityscapes, which were influenced by the work of [[Richard Diebenkorn]].<ref name=Yau>{{cite journal|last=Yau|first=John|title=Wayne Thiebaud: 70 Years of Painting|journal=The Brooklyn Rail|date=July–August 2010|url=http://brooklynrail.org/2010/07/artseen/wayne-thiebaud-70-years-of-painting}}</ref> His paintings such as ''Sunset Streets'' (1985) and ''Flatland River'' (1997) are noted for their hyper realism, and have been compared to [[Edward Hopper]]'s work, another artist who was fascinated with mundane scenes from everyday American life.<ref name=Yau />

== Influences ==
One of Thiebaud's students from Sacramento City College was the artist [[Fritz Scholder]] (1937–2005), who went on to become a major influence in the direction of American Indian art through his instruction at the [[Institute of American Indian Arts]] in [[Santa Fe, New Mexico]] (1964–1969). The painter [[Mel Ramos]] (1935–2018), considered Thiebaud his mentor.<ref>{{cite book
