Food in Art
Food has always played a role in art: Stone Age cave painters used vegetable juice and animal fats as binding ingredients in their paints, and the Egyptians carved pictures of crops and bread on hieroglyphic tablets. We begin our journey during the Renaissance, where Giuseppe Arcimboldo, a painter at the Royal Court in Prague, took food painting to a new level with his puzzle-like portraits in which the facial features were made up of fruits, vegetables and flowers. Included in this box are some special jelly-projects inspired by the very inventive Bompas & Parr, who create multi-sensory experience design.
With each ‘Fabulous Food’ box bought, a donation will be made to Chef’s In Schools who work to help schools completely transform the standards of school food and food education.
