The Culinary Historians of San Diego present “Food In 20th Century Art,” featuring Carolyn Tillie, at 10:30am on September 21, 2019, in the Neil Morgan Auditorium of the San Diego Central Library, 330 Park Boulevard, San Diego. The event is free and open to the public. A book sale and signing will follow the presentation.

Tillie will delve into the history of food as an artist’s medium. She will discuss how food was not only the inspiration for the artwork of the Surrealists, Cubists, and Modernist art movements, but also how food became part of the medium in which they worked and expressed themselves.
