Many will say that food is one of the greatest pleasures in life. It has played a role in art from early cave paintings, Egyptian pictographs, through the Renaissance, and pop art to modern day depictions. Who hasn’t painted a piece of fruit or a glass of wine? This show not only celebrates the role of food but also the table—the comfort and companionship represented by family and friends gathered round the table to share the events of life. Find more information and the prospectus at ww.thejoecenter.org.
