California painter and teacher Wayne Thiebaud, who mastered Realism with vibrant still lifes, died Saturday at his home in Sacramento.
Wayne Thiebaud, an artist whose images of cake, pie and other mass produced desserts suggested Pop art but whose loose, expressive brush strokes and pointed use of light eventually proved him to be a misunderstood Realist painter, has died. He was 101.
In the 1950s he began to make oil paintings of bakery goods and children’s toys to capture the “insistent reverie” they evoked for him. Lushly painted cupcakes and gumball machines brought back memories of his idyllic past. “I’m one of those lucky people who had a terrific childhood,” Thiebaud said in a 1995 interview with the San Francisco Chronicle.
“After awhile there was a kind of insistence and integrity about them that was undeniable,” Stone said. After the first, sold-out show in 1962, he continued to represent Thiebaud for more than 40 years. Despite his protests, his name seemed permanently attached to Pop through the 1960s. It wasn’t all bad luck. “Thiebaud’s diner-and-deli still lifes caused him to be misunderstood into fame,” wrote critic Robert Hughes in a 1985 article for Time magazine.
Some critics suggested that the blank expressions on faces in Thiebaud’s art forced the attention back upon the technical aspects of his art. “We begin to realize that Thiebaud has been painting about art, especially realist art,” wrote critic Henry Seldis of Thiebaud in a 1977 article for the Los Angeles Times. The detached expressions recall works by the French realist painter Édouard Manet, Seldis wrote.
“Thiebaud has been an anomaly for so long that it hardly seems to matter anymore,” Hughes wrote in his review of the show for Time magazine in 2001.

All Scrambled Up: An Expat's Christmas BreakfastEvery year, our Christmas breakfast was scrambled eggs, bacon, and a virgin Mary, made with some Bloody Mary cocktail mix, specifically brought home for the occasion from the most recent trip abroad. But the bacon available to us wasn't the belly bacon available here in the US; it was loin bacon, or Canadian bacon, and, to boot, it was bad—it was badly cured ham. And yet, I now remember those breakfasts fondly, and it's mostly because of those scrambled eggs.
