If you thought photography, art, food, or social media were rich topics, imagine a conversation tackling all of these at once!
On a recent evening at the Getty Center, art and food world luminaries-and a full-house audience-met to consider these questions alongside images from the Getty’s current exhibition In Focus: Tasteful Pictures, which features the delicious buttered bread featured above. In this era of growing obsession with documenting and sharing our food online, what do our photographs say about us? And how might they compare to those displayed in an art museum? Maybe you have even said it yourself, or spent time scrolling through photos of other people’s dinners on food blogs and Flickr groups like I Ate This. © Martin Parr/Magnum Photosĭrop your fork! I need to take a picture! Perhaps you’ve heard this exclamation, followed by the snap of a camera, while dining at a restaurant or sitting down to a home-cooked meal. Untitled from the series British Food, Martin Parr, 1995.
