Friday at the Israel Museum | From Palette to Plate – Food Images in Art with: Mira Banai

Additional Details

Descriptions of food and edibles can already be seen in ancient times, and this descriptive tradition is also evident in Dutch and Flemish still-life paintings, in depictions of set tables with an emphasis on the Last Supper, and in images of food in modern and contemporary art. What hidden meanings are in the descriptions of food, and what does food in art say about the spirit of the time and place?

With: Mira Banai, lecturer and researcher of modern and contemporary art and culture.
