Food For Thought
I hope you have eaten already, or have some food near by, cause this post is all related to food. And not in the way you think. And you will get hungry. Pretty fantastic, right? The artist is Giuseppe Arcimboldo. He was an Italian painter during the 16th century, and after discovering him in a National Geographic article, my love for his whimsical paintings was created. This is what Wikipedia has to say about his work: "when he assembled objects in one portrait, he never used random objects. Each object was related by characterization. In The Librarian , Arcimboldo used objects that signified the book culture at that time, such as the curtain that created individual study rooms in a library. The animal tails, which became the beard of the portrait, were used as dusters. By using the everyday objects, the portraits were decoration and still life paintings at the same time. His works showed not only nature and human beings, but also how close they were related. "
