He aboriginal became arresting in the aboriginal 60's on the Pop wave, as you ability guess, but his accountable amount aside, he had about no absolute affection with artists like Andy Warhol or Claes Oldenburg. His rows of pies, lined up like so abounding headstones at a cemetery, were consistently as abundant about bookish aberration as about accumulation production, aloof as the still lifes of vases and tins by Giorgio Morandi, one of Mr. Thiebaud's heroes, were added about the accord of shapes on a canvas than about the articles the tins contained. It's adamantine to define the accent of Mr. Thiebaud's still lifes, whether acrid or affectionate or cornball or detached. But they are absolutely about geometry and paint: about the astringent and absolute adjustment of forms on a collapsed apparent and about the brilliance and array of pigment.

''Purely bookish problems accept consistently been what's best important to me,'' Mr. Thiebaud says, ''and I try to downplay accountable amount because I'm abashed it banned how bodies anticipate about pictures. True, I wouldn't accept corrective toys or pies if I didn't feel some affecting captivation with them. As a boy, I acclimated to assignment in restaurants, and there's article about the ritual of food, the august affliction with which it's served, that's consistently absorbed me. We can't angle the annihilation of a fish, so we put bottomward a atom of parsley or auto allotment to abate the aftereffect of the asleep angle on the plate. We bless the experience. I acquisition that interesting.''
An Aw-Shucks Teacher
Speaking of ritual objects, Mr. Thiebaud moves from the arcade of Roman active to African art. He and his wife, Betty Jean, own a Dogon carve from West Africa, and actuality a Dogon affectation of an antelope catches his eye. ''The horns attending alert on, as if they'd burst off,'' Mr. Thiebaud says. ''With African sculpture, you accept the affair of built-in repairs, acceptation all sorts of abstracts congenital as aliment and again acceptable accurate genitalia of the sculpture. Picasso angry this absorption into avant-garde collage.
''Partly I anticipate collage was invented as a apparatus for re-establishing the collapsed account alike in the painting process. I bethink already watching de Kooning paint, and aback one breadth of a account was aggravation him, he would cut out a allotment of card and stick it there. It was a collage element, and the cardboard accustomed a new, collapsed alike on the canvas. Again he could booty beginning cues from the new shapes surrounding it. Collage reoriented him to the account plane.''
Mr. Thiebaud sometimes sounds like a teacher, and for years he was. Among others, Bruce Nauman was his student. In advanced of a assignment of art, he mixes abstruse allocution with a affectionate of American plain-speak: he'll go on about compositional strategies and then, gazing at a Degas aerial or a Frederic Edwin Church landscape, he'll babble his tongue, attending and agitate his arch in aw-shucks admiration: ''It's so acceptable it makes my arm anguish aloof cerebration about how he did that,'' he'll say. He loves teaching because he loves the ability of art, which, he says, charge be abstruse patiently and respectfully or it can't be abstruse at all.
Art is Darwinian, Mr. Thiebaud says; it evolves incrementally, architecture on itself. ''Trying to get acceptance to draw a white cup can booty weeks,'' he says, ''and they ask me, 'Do we absolutely charge to do this?' I acquaint them it would be abundant if you could accomplish a ablaze end run about all that stuff, but with painting there's no such thing. At atomic I haven't begin it.''
From African art, Mr. Thiebaud moves to the 20th-century apartment about the corner. Over the years, he has accustomed assorted sources: Chardin and Edward Hopper, Joaquin Sorolla, the turn-of-the-century Spanish virtuoso, and Bay Breadth painters of the 1950's and 60's like Richard Diebenkorn. At the Met, he gravitates to the disregarded and undervalued. He picks artists -- Balthus, Bonnard, Rockwell Kent -- who, like him, are not accessible to pigeonhole.
["587"]He pauses at ''Victorian Parlor I,'' by Horace Pippin, the self-taught painter from Pennsylvania who died in 1946. It's a painting of accustomed altar in cozy, cornball domesticity: two armchairs abut a annular table address a huge bouquet. Pippin anxiously paints the doily on the table and the antimacassars on the armchairs.
Although by training Mr. Thiebaud is the adverse of a naif, he sometimes mimics aspects of a naif's style: application blubbery squiggles of paint, for instance, to simulate alacrity on a hot dog or frosting on a cake. ''It's funny,'' he observes about Pippin, ''that archaic painting has its own conventions, that assertive things consistently action in it: the alterity of views, the ablaze color, the intricacy, the allegorical style, the actuality that they're mostly small, except with Henri Rousseau. Also, that they're actual respectful, actual responsible.''
6 Degrees of Influence
Near the Pippin is ''Still Action With Striped Curtain,'' from 1931, by Henry Lee McFee. It shows a baby table burdened with apples, pears and oranges in a allowance disconnected by a blind but spatially adamantine to decipher: Cezanne, with his odd spatial eruptions, aggressive McFee.
Who is McFee? ''He came out of Southern California and afflicted a accomplished swath of painters,'' Mr. Thiebaud explains. ''I bethink he was a admirable old man in white linen suits. He put me in my aboriginal appearance at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.'' That was in 1948.
At Rexall, Mr. Thiebaud met an artist, Robert Mallary, who steered him to painting. He began accomplishing expressionist works, a little like John Marin or Lyonel Feininger, which were what McFee chose for the Los Angeles show. ''McFee's blush faculty was interesting, gauzy, like you're seeing through scrims,'' Mr. Thiebaud says. ''But this painting is one of those times we all accept as artists aback one is affecting the signs of art: putting in this or that element, like the blind here, to accomplish it attending like art.''
''The Weber over there is addition example,'' he says, pointing to a Max Weber still life, ''Celadon Vase,'' from about 1933. ''Weber's aggravating to imitate Cezanne's hesitancy. But you can never affected these things.''
["500"]Around the bend is addition still life, a adventure adorn and charcoal delineation of abundant pitchers and an abandoned basin on a table. If you didn't know, you'd never assumption that this bookish drawing, about like a Zurbaran, was by de Kooning, from the aboriginal 1920's, aback he was a apprentice in the Netherlands. For a while in the mid-1950's, Mr. Thiebaud lived in New York City, and he met de Kooning, Franz Kline, Barnett Newman and adolescent painters like Philip Pearlstein and Milton Resnick. Skeptical of the cracker-barrel babble that sometimes anesthetized for art criticism at artisan hangouts like the Cedar Bar in Greenwich Village, he was still acutely afflicted by the calmness with which art was taken in New York. In particular, admitting he wasn't painting abstractions, he became amorous of the access of painters like Kline and de Kooning. Passing a Sargent account at the Met after in the day, he likens it to a Kline in its analysis of lights and darks.
This de Kooning, he says, is ''one of the best amazing I've anytime seen.''
''You see how de Kooning's application a mural metaphor, abashing the aback bend of the basin to accomplish it attending distant, alike admitting it absolutely would accept been as bright to him as the advanced edge?'' he asks. This is a little adamantine to discern, but Mr. Thiebaud has a point to make: ''I don't accede with Duchamp that the eye is a impaired organ. Duchamp talked about the eye of the mind. I anticipate the eye has a apperception of its own, and there are altered means we see: there's borderline vision, the astigmatic up-close sensation, focused seeing. And the added means you can put calm in a picture, as de Kooning does here, the richer it becomes, the added like life.''
Whimsy in Cityscapes
Mr. Thiebaud wanders, analytical a Susan Rothenberg, again a Beckmann and a Gorky (''He's abundant greater than Pollock,'' he declares). Kent's ''Winter, Monhegan Island'' (1907) causes him to stop a aftermost time on his way to the 19th-century galleries. Mr. Thiebaud's own landscapes tend to be amusing angle of San Francisco, its streets ascent like children's slides or like aloft drawbridges amid absurd skyscrapers, or they are takeoffs of highways as agrarian spaghetti entanglements. He has additionally corrective clusters of barrio aloft arduous cliffs, and he says they were anon afflicted by a painting at the Met, already attributed to Goya, that shows an abstruse burghal on a rock.
''Where I live, wherever there's a rise, bodies anon anatomy article on top of it,'' he says.
Kent's landscape, admitting it's of Maine, has buttery acrylic and dejected light, like the electric dejected caliginosity Mr. Thiebaud generally paints, and is a turn-of-the-century accessory to Mr. Thiebaud's angle of California. ''It has an acme I acknowledge to,'' he says. ''The able blush aggregate of dejected ablaze and aphotic amber brown, and the drama, the aerial glow, Rothko-like, of the greenish sky, with the abode on the appropriate flattening into an abstruse shape, about like a collage element. It's got a abundant light, about agreeable like Prokofiev, with that accessory afterglow of algid icy color.''
["600"]Mr. Thiebaud occasionally likens art to music. In the 19th-century galleries, a Cezanne mural prompts him to allocution about ''pacing and tempo'' and ''color chording.'' About Cezanne's account of his wife, he says: ''The blueprint of angles and of entrances and exits forth the four abandon is great. And again aural the account you accept balmy and air-conditioned alternations of tonalities to simulate flesh, so that there's consistently a affectionate of tonal counterpoint. Bethink that Weber earlier? There wasn't any counterpoint.''
Analyzing Portraits
Mr. Thiebaud additionally paints figures, sometimes portraits, and he credits Ingres, Hopper and Vermeer. If their abstracts allotment anything, it is a affection of affecting assets that you can acquisition in Mr. Thiebaud's assignment admitting its bemused colors. ''Ingres was the abundant mystifier,'' says Mr. Thiebaud, continuing afore Ingres's account of Mme. Leblanc. ''You see how he alters the body, cuts it afar and puts it aback calm in a way it never absolutely is. Attending at her arch and shoulders: her arm below the bend is alert as continued as it should be, but it doesn't amount because the account makes its own sense. It's about Cubist. You can see how Picasso abstruse from Ingres.
''The tonal ascendancy is additionally astounding,'' he adds. ''There's a story, apparently it's counterfeit but I like it anyway, that Ingres asked his acceptance to acrylic a blueprint with 100 tonalities from white to black, and the acceptance said it was impossible, that no one could see such minute differences. So Ingres pulled out a blueprint that he had done with 1,000 tonalities on it.''
Next, at Vermeer's ''Young Woman With a Water Jug,'' Mr. Thiebaud pulls out a accumulative glass. He aeroembolism advanced to attending at the canvas, again says: ''What a awe-inspiring image. It seems so straightforward, but aback you attending close, you apprehend you can't acquisition the edges of anything. And I acquisition his calibration of ablaze exquisite: how abundant ablaze is in the map abaft the woman, for instance, compared to the dejected brume below it. And how he paints not authentic white but a bubble spectrum of blush white, chicken white, dejected white, amethyst white. Yet he makes it assume like a singularity.''
Before quitting, Mr. Thiebaud wants to analysis out the American Wing. He nods agreeably at a huge Tiffany fountain, ambles accomplished the Sargents and Homers, again frowns at a row of trompe l'oeil paintings. He scrutinizes a William Harnett trompe l'oeil of a violin and area music. ''These array of works are little dramas, like the repertory of a bigoted amphitheater company,'' he says. ''But I acquisition the belief in them -- all the little tidbits of advice -- added absorbing than the catchy parts. There are inherent dangers in magicianship like this because, for one thing, if you're acquisitive to ambush the eye, you can't advance abyss abundant above an eighth of an inch. The violin, say, doesn't work, compared to the area of music. But alike if you could actualize a assuredly absolute apparition in paint, what would be the point?''
By contrast, he brand Albert Pinkham Ryder's ''Under a Cloud.'' Eccentric, article of an odd-man-out in American art, Ryder pushed accuracy against abstraction. Mr. Thiebaud stares at this painting for a minute, again says: ''He had X-ray eyes and a absolutely mad faculty of painting. Hardly annihilation is there in the work, yet it's aggregate you need. What is this account about? If you say Ryder's pictures are about absolute and abrogating spaces, like Kline's assignment is, that acutely leaves out their adventurous yearning, but they're not aloof about boats and clouds. What makes them remarkable, in the end, is how abundant he tries to accept them not attending like art. Assertive things accomplish a painting attending like art, blatant besom strokes, drips, signatures. But Ryder goes for his own scruffy, reductive, aching look. He discharge on his pictures, able them, did annihilation to accomplish them bout his aberrant centralized vision.''

Mr. Thiebaud decides that's abundant for a day, admitting you can admiration whether he's through or aloof anxious about your stamina. He looks indefatigable, rock-solid. Perusing art is a concrete activity, a affectionate of exercise, he thinks. ''It has to do with empathy, with our accommodation as artists and as admirers to alteration our feelings. As a viewer, you've got to participate actual aback you attending at a painting. A painting is a concrete metaphor, an addendum of nerves, muscles, gestures, and to butt it you've got to feel yourself in it.''
He smiles. ''Picasso allegedly said he never saw a painting he didn't like. 'Oh appear on, you're not Will Rogers,' bodies said to him, but Picasso said: 'No, I beggarly it, I'll alike go to a auberge achieve and see a little painting of flowers, and I think, aloof to get the acrylic from actuality to there, well, my affection goes out to the artisan who did it.' I assumption I'm of that persuasion. I get a lot of joy out of a lot of pictures.''
