Depictions of food and dining in art remain popular themes in still life, genre, and super-sized installations. From farm to table, feasts come to life by artists as varied as Arcimboldo, Cézanne, Pippin, and Judy Chicago. With ravishing details that span the symbolic to the social, discussions center on an array of ‘isms, media, and scale that dramatically connects our understanding of eating rituals from the past to the present. Enriching videos highlight works of art from museums worldwide.
