A taste of art for Javea U3A members
Javea U3A member Barbara Craven gave an intriguing insight into the subject of 'Food in Art' at the History Group meeting at Casa de Cultura in the old town.
She illustrated her talk with an array of artwork, some beautiful and some grotesque! But it's all in the eye of the beholder.
Barbara told her audience her presentation combined her passion for food and her love of art.
She traced artwork from early cave paintings through the pop art of the 1950s-60s to present day offerings by renowned artists like Antony Gormley and Damien Hirst … and finished her talk with the words "Art is life and so is food!"
Barbara was thanked by History Group leaders Angela Chantry and Tony Dearie and presented with a bottle of wine.
The next History Group meeting is on Tuesday, May 14 when former group leader Peter Atkinson will give a presentation entitled “Intersecting Lives: John F Kennedy and Lyndon B Johnson”
