This Study event accompanies The Courtauld Gallery’s pioneering UK exhibition of Wayne Thiebaud’s quintessentially post-war American subjects, such as diner food and deli counters. Our speakers will explore the exhibition themes, and more widely, the rich symbolic and formal potential of food and its consumption in sixteenth- to eighteenth-century still-lifes and genre scenes, in the artistic innovations of artists like Cézanne and Picasso, and investigate the use of food as subject-matter and artistic medium in twentieth-century and contemporary installation and performance art.
