The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
For those not familiar with paintings from the Bauhaus, it’s simple… There were a lot of shapes. Actually, the entire art movement was about simplicity, producing paintings as well as architecture, sculpture, and furniture design that relied on the minimal.
Recently, Berlin-based photographers Nicky&Max took up the movement, creating a food photo series using Bauhaus as inspiration. Spoiler Alert: There’s a lot of food cut into simple shapes.
Art watching can make people hungry… Or so we’ve been told. Especially when the art strongly resembles an onion ring floating in tomato soup, or can easily be recreated as jam on toast. Over at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, they’re taking inspiration from actual paintings within their space to help design the menu at their rooftop café.
From Rothko’s abstractionist jam, to Rosana Castrillo Díaz Panna Cotta — visitors to the museum can take in some art, and then, um, take in some art.
The Art Toast Project gives boring toasted bread a much-needed upgrade. Brought to us by Norwegian artist Ida Skivenes — famous works by Monet, Van Gogh, Pollock and others are recreated using various food items with toast as the canvas.
And it’s all documented on Instagram… See more of the project here.
