About this product
Product Information
Food has always been a favourite subject of the world's artists, from still-lifes by Matisse and Picasso to the works of Claes Oldenberg and Andy Warhol. But how do artists eat? The Modern Art Cookbook provides a window into how both great and lesser-known modern artists, writers, and poets ate, cooked, depicted, and wrote about food. A cornucopia of life in the kitchen and in the studio throughout the twentieth century and beyond, the book explores a wide-ranging panoply of artworks of food, cooking, and eating from Europe and the Americas -- from the early moderns through the Impressionists, Symbolists, Cubists, Futurists, and Surrealists up to today's art -- as well as writing about food from contemporary novelists, writers, and poets. Beautifully illustrated and often surprising, this new paperback edition is a joyous guide to the art of food.

It's the rare artist who doesn't occasionally make the antics of the kitchen the subject of a work or two. But far from offering a dry review of that phenomenon or a delicious-looking but unfulfilling cocktail book of plates, Surrealism scholar Mary Ann Caws has assembled a collection of artists' personal writings, from diary entries to poetry, to examine the connection between art and paintings in The Modern Art Cookbook ., [Caws] cookbook is a compilation of recipes culled from various artists' repertoires or inspired by their preferences, interspersed with paintings, photographs, snippets of poems, fiction, and essays about food or cooking. For instance, there's a recipe called 'Cezanne's Anchoiade' in homage to the daily anchovies he ate rolled between sautéed eggplant slices on the way to his studio. Instead of pictures of the finished product, a painting by Julian Merrow Smith of two silvery anchovies accompanies the recipe. . . . What Caws is doing is highlighting the intersection between the act of creating art and cooking., Try Czanne's pears and quinces with honey or Roy Lichtenstein's roast fillet of beef. Less a kitchen book than a feast for the eyes., [Caws] cookbook is a compilation of recipes culled from various artists' repertoires or inspired by their preferences, interspersed with paintings, photographs, snippets of poems, fiction, and essays about food or cooking. For instance, there's a recipe called 'Cezanne's Anchoiade' in homage to the daily anchovies he ate rolled between sauted eggplant slices on the way to his studio. Instead of pictures of the finished product, a painting by Julian Merrow Smith of two silvery anchovies accompanies the recipe. . . . What Caws is doing is highlighting the intersection between the act of creating art and cooking., Connecting the senses is what The Modern Art Cookbook is all about. . . . The larger purpose of this delectable anthology is the association of reading, looking and cooking. . . . Mary Ann Caws has a discriminating eye, a catholic taste, a fine feeling for feeding, as A. J. Liebling called it, and a wonderfully well-stocked larder of culture. As a trans-historical truffle-hound she is hard to beat. . . . Mary Ann Caws's purpose is triumphantly achieved. The marriage of lookery and cookery is beguiling: the total effect is mouth-watering., Mouthwatering. . . . Captivating images of works by Mary Cassat and Gustav Klimt are partnered with recipes used by Salvador Dali and Frida Kahlo, amounting to the perfect gourmet tour through art history. Beyond artworks and recipes, the work also includes diary entries, poems, and bits of correspondence that illuminate art's long love affair with food. You'll not only learn to cook Monet's madeleines but you'll understand why Cezanne had a penchant for drawing potatoes. If visions of abstract paintings and juicy roasted vegetables are dancing in your head already, we don't blame you., Not a cookbook for those who like precise measurements and step-by-step guides, this book provides instead a rich fund of anecdotes and recipes, mined from the notebooks and journals of writers and artists who also liked to cook. Picasso's charlotte au chocolat, Czanne's knockout bitter orange wine, David Hockney's strawberry cake and Roy Lichtenstein's grilled bass all figure here, illustrated by their own or other artists' pictures., Try Cézanne's pears and quinces with honey or Roy Lichtenstein's roast fillet of beef. Less a kitchen book than a feast for the eyes., Who wouldn't want to taste Allen Ginsberg's borscht, Frida Kahlo's red snapper, or Cézanne's baked tomatoes ? Mary Ann Caws--a phenomenal writer, critic, translator, and curator of cultivated pleasures--has assembled an intoxicating mélange of reminiscences, art works, poems, and recipes. This savory compendium offers imaginative satisfactions of the highest order. I can't wait to bake David Hockney's strawberry cake!, The best thing about this beautifully packaged book is the lavish quantity of coloured plates: still lives and drawings, the odd photograph, some familiar, others not, all of them of food. . . . [Caws] has paired pictures and recipes in the most imaginative way. . . . A visual feast to salivate over., Who wouldn't want to taste Allen Ginsberg's borscht, Frida Kahlo's red snapper, or Czanne's baked tomatoes ? Mary Ann Caws--a phenomenal writer, critic, translator, and curator of cultivated pleasures--has assembled an intoxicating mlange of reminiscences, art works, poems, and recipes. This savory compendium offers imaginative satisfactions of the highest order. I can't wait to bake David Hockney's strawberry cake!, A masterful blend of scholarship, detective work and recipes by modern masters. This is a gem: wonderful to read and exciting in its prospect of cooking delicious meals created and eaten by great artists., Not a cookbook for those who like precise measurements and step-by-step guides, this book provides instead a rich fund of anecdotes and recipes, mined from the notebooks and journals of writers and artists who also liked to cook. Picasso's charlotte au chocolat, Cézanne's knockout bitter orange wine, David Hockney's strawberry cake and Roy Lichtenstein's grilled bass all figure here, illustrated by their own or other artists' pictures.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
