The Artist's Lunch Alice McCormick HC 2008 Australian Art Photography Cookbook

What is it about artists and food? From the canvas to the table, the visual and culinary arts are linked by colour, texture, form and taste, and the process by which artists combine these elements is captivating and revelatory. Artists have this symbiosis, a connection between making art and making food, which make most artists as creative in the kitchen as in the studio. Writer Alice McCormick and photographer Sarah Rhodes feast with the most surprising and engaging selection of bons viveurs, and discover that at an ideal dinner party, one should dine with artists they do it better. Key points: features 18 profiles of Australias prominent and distinguished artists, along with stunning photographs of their original works; foreword by Margaret Olley, declared as Australias National Treasure; ideal collectors item for the art aficionado.
