Discomfort Food: The Culinary Imagination in Late Nineteenth-Century French Art as part of the Meet KU s Authors series.
In
Discomfort Food, scholar Marni Reva Kessler trains her inquisitive eye on the depictions of food in nineteenth-century French art. Arguing that disjointed senses of anxiety, nostalgia, and melancholy underlie the superficial abundance in works by Manet, Degas, and others, Kessler shows how, in their images, food presented a spectrum of pleasure and unease associated with modern life.
