When isn’t art good for breakfast? Oslo-based artist Ida Skivenes makes all types of food art out using a piece of toast on a kitchen plate as her canvas. The other week, she found herself stuck in front of a computer rather than freestyling in the kitchen, and so she looked up Johannes Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring, and transformed it into a tasty, carby portrait. She posts these and many other art history-inspired toasts to her Instagram account. Scroll through her feed and you’ll find yourself wanting to eat, rather than look at, works of art by Salvador Dali, Picasso, Edvard Munch, and Frida Kahlo. These are the kinds of art-food that we’d like to see on social media sites, rather than the ubiquitous amateur shots of food porn that are even more prevalent thanks to apps like FoodSpotting and its seamless integration into Facebook last year.
