Wayne Thiebaud died last week, age 101. Known for his paintings of cakes and ice cream, his work transcended the simplicity of his subjects.
I'm so inspired by Wayne Thiebaud!!! I usually see people using his early work. It is lovely & so accessible for young artists as inspiration. However, that is not the work to which I'm referring. I love his landscapes. They have such amazing color and atmospheric perspective. I feel like I'm flying over his world as I view the paintings. If you are not familiar with the "newer" work of Thiebaud...hop on-line and do a search! You will have a "new/old" artist to add to your landscape units! Did you know I interviewed Wayne Thiebaud?

In a time when the arts and humanities are less and less respected, because those essential fields are so little understood, “Wayne Thiebaud: Artist’s Choice” is the kind of exhibition we need more of. It's on view at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art through March 10. Take a brilliant artist who is also wildly popular, and ask him to...
In the last of three postings on the paintings of Wayne Thiebaud (cakes, landscapes, and cityscapes) I'm taking a look at some of his cityscapes. Based on San Francisco with its dramatic hills where the roads rise and fall quite precipitously in places, they're a fanciful and exaggerated version of the reality. For biographical information on Thiebaud see my two previous posts.
Thiebaud, who spent most of his life in California, was one of the country's most beloved and recognizable painters.

These mountains embody the most sensuous aspects of the beautiful, as Thiebaud is a fundamentally erotic artist whose work arouses the viewers appetites.

An exhibit in California examines the full, delicious spread of the American artist's work
Bay Area artist Wayne Thiebaud worked first as a graphic designer and cartoonist before beginning his painting career in the mid-1950s. He combined a number of interests then current in American art: thick, gestural brushwork, everyday subject matter, and commercial imagery. Thiebaud is best known for his paintings of cakes, pies, and candies arranged in […]
Wayne Thiebaud was born in 1920 in Mesa, Arizona, and resides in Sacramento, California. As a child he lived in Long Beach, California, and in Hurricane, Utah, where his family’s farm failed during the Depression. The family moved back to Long Beach in 1933, and Thiebaud worked in his youth as a sign painter and as an “in-betweener” in the animation department of Walt Disney studios. He studied commercial art in a trade school, attended Long Beach Junior College, and worked as a shipfitter in the Long Beach harbor. In the U.S. Army from 1942 to 1945, stationed in California, he drew a cartoon strip for the base newspaper. After leaving the service, he worked as a designer and cartoonist at the Rexall Drug Company in Los Angeles, where a fellow employee was painter Robert Mallary, who encouraged him to begin painting. Studying under the GI Bill, Thiebaud received a BA and an MA from California State College (now California State University) in Sacramento. His first solo exhibition was in 1951 at the E. B. Crocker Art Gallery (now the Crocker Art Museum). Thiebaud began teaching at Sacramento Junior College in 1951. He has been a teacher ever since, working as a visiting professor in schools around the country, from Colorado University to Harvard and Yale. From 1960 he sustained a teaching commitment to the University of California, Davis. (He nominally retired in 1990). In 1956–57, he lived for a year in New York City, became friendly with Elaine and Willem de Kooning, and met other abstract expressionist artists. His first exhibition in New York, at the Alan Stone Gallery in 1962, received tremendous critical attention, with reviews in Newsweek, Art News, the New York Times, and Life magazine. That same year he had a solo exhibition at the de Young Museum in San Francisco. He has been an active printmaker throughout his career, and began making etchings at Crown Point Press in 1964. Thiebaud has shown in numerous exhibitions and received many awards, including the National Medal of Arts, presented by President Clinton in 1994. His paintings are in the collections of most major museums in the United States, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Art Institute of Chicago.
The painter's SF streetscapes give us a surreal view of the city's topography, and allow us to understand his brain.
A distillation of pure color and dramatic light effects, Wayne Thiebaud’s Pastel Scatter (1972) seems to be a spontaneous gesture, yet it’s evident that it is rendered in the methodical technique Thiebaud developed in his 1960s paintings of pies and ice cream cones.
