For Picasso, the presence of certain foodstuffs in his paintings was a reflection of life in Paris under German occupation
PABLO PICASSO often worked in close proximity to food. As a young artist he would eat, drink and sketch in a café in Barcelona. Later it was the kitchen in Villa La Californie, Cannes, or the one in Rue des Grands-Augustins, Paris, that acted as a makeshift studio. Little surprise that in 1948 he rendered his Parisian kitchen in monochrome lines and abstract shapes, and that the foodstuffs that appeared on his plate appeared on his canvasses, too.
It is not a new genre. In 1961 “The Artists’ and Writers’ Cookbook” collected stories and recipes from the likes of Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray and Harper Lee; an updated version, released in 2016, solicited contributions from Marina Abramović, Joyce Carol Oates and Ed Ruscha among others. Contributions range from the whimsical to the practical. Ray and Ms Abramović suggest ingredients of wooden blocks and meteorites, respectively, while both Mr Ruscha and Ms Oates offer a recipe for omelettes.
