Description

Food has always been a favourite subject of the world?s artists, from still-lifes by Matisse and Picasso to the works of Claes Oldenberg and Andy Warhol. But how do artists eat? The Modern Art Cookbook provides a window into how both great and lesser-known modern artists, writers and poets ate, cooked, depicted and wrote about food. A cornucopia of life in the kitchen and in the studio throughout the twentieth century and beyond, the book explores a wide-ranging panoply of artworks of food, cooking and eating from Europe and the Americas ? from the early moderns through the Impressionists, Symbolists, Cubists, Futurists and Surrealists up to today?s art ? as well as writing about food from contemporary novelists, writers and poets.
Beautifully illustrated and often surprising, this new paperback edition is a joyous guide to the art of food.
