Feast your Eyes: The Fashion of Food in Art

Sat 06 Oct 12 - Sun 06 Jan 13

 

Celebrating the representation of food over the past five centuries, Feast your Eyes will explore fashions in food and drink throughout Europe from the 16th to the 21st Century.
Ranging from Arcimboldo’s fantasies to 20th Century still life photographs by Irving Penn, the exhibition which opened at The Bowes Museum in Barnard Castle on Saturday 6 October, will explore themes prevalent in depictions of food in art such as Faith and Feast, From Market to Table, Fashionable Beverages, and Still Life.
