Seafood Platter

Squash Casserole

Adolphe Monticelli

De Forrest Hale Judd

A man of simple pleasures, Judd

can talk about the natural

landscape of Texas for hours.

Known for his love of mountains,

lakes, and Texas flora, Judd offers

his squash casserole, baked with

veggies straight from his garden.

A humble Frenchman, and a

good friend of Paul Cézanne,

Monticelli prefers freshly caught

seafood. Here he has gathered

Marseille, France.

Baked Potato

Apple Pie

Watermelon Margaritas

Claes Oldenburg

Paul Cézanne

Rufino Tamayo

This American artist embraces all

aspects of US culture, especially

the food. The topic of consumerism

is one of Oldenburg’s conversation

starters, as it’s also the main

subject of his work. These loaded

everything baked potatoes are

fresh from the artist's studio grill.

Quiet Cézanne has made a

sweet apple pie, but not before

he made a quick watercolor of

the apples, straight from the

market in Aix-en-Provence,

France. Cézanne is only

interested in bringing up

conversations that allow for a

critique of this work.

Talkative Tamayo made

watermelon margaritas inspired

by his childhood job as a fruit

vendor. The margaritas are

rimmed with beeswax and

sugar, reflecting the printmaking

technique he developed.

"proudest and most arrogant man

in France,” Courbet is sure to

shake up any dinner party. Courbet

is bringing a baked pear pastry.

Gogh has made pasta

inspired by his plein air wheat

paintings. He is willing to

bring macaroni and cheese as

long as Paul Gauguin does

not show up to dinner.

The anonymous Guerilla Girls, are

sure to bring up some important
