Food has been an integral part of visual art from the very beginning, when vegetable dyes and animal fats were used in cave paintings. Dutch Renaissance painters depicted vanitas still life compositions featuring carcasses, flowers, and silver platters laden with fresh fruits and vegetables. Feast continues this tradition as artists express opinions and render metaphors about food through large-scale drawings, paintings, sculptures, and installations in distinct and compelling ways.
