Art of Food, the

Food is integral to our relationships, cultures and languages. We transform it by cutting, cooking and dressing it. Showing how artists in the 20th and 21st centuries have considered this universal subject, this title provides a lens with which to examine food beyond its purpose as body fuel. Through the works of artists such as Enrique Chagoya, Damien Hirst, Hung Liu, Analia Saban, Lorna Simpson and Andy Warho, it becomes clear why food is a recurring subject in art.From the collection of the Jordan Schnitzer Family Foundation. We use food as an intermediary to connect with others through holiday meals, business lunches and dates. We deny food to others as a tool of suppression and cultural erasure.
