Welcome to BSIX students

This blog is intended as a resource for you to use in the creation of the 'Dinner with Picasso' recipe-book. I will upload images relating to food as art and art as food, which may help in your own reseach.

There are many different ways that artists may use food within their practice. To begin to explore this lets look at some famous apples...

The above painting by Cezanne shows one of the most simple and traditional ways in which an artist may use food- as the subject of pictoral representation for a still-life. 

In 'The Son of Man,' by Rene Magritte, the apple moves the painting into the realm of the Surreal. The apple is an element that is out of it's natural place, setting the tone of the painting.

And finally, here is an apple that represents the way we have been exploring food and art in the BSIX workshops- it is seeing an apple as art, making the apple into art.
