Focusing on the dialogue between gastronomy and art, from antiquity to the present, you will research the work of artists who represented food, drink, harvest, and hunger; the role of the decorative arts in dining; and the relationship of national traditions of art and cuisine. You will also test the validity of analogies that scholars have drawn between developments in the two areas of endeavor and explore uncharted areas of affinity linking art and cuisine. The course brings together analysis of art history and artistic practice. You will make works of art related to food, and the semester will culminate in an exhibit for the Gastronomy community.
