The Chrysler Museum of Art is bringing back the historic French Salon tradition! The Farm to Table Salon Series provides an intimate and unique opportunity to probe beyond the surface of the canvas into the complex themes associated with the Farm to Table: Art, Food, and Identity in the Age of Impressionism exhibition. The artwork presents more than just French art and cuisine; it touches upon aesthetics, urban versus rural life, the relationship between food, gender, and identity, and so much more. Each salon will take place in the exhibition gallery to let the art inspire the discussion.
Food says so much about who we are. The food, foodways, and food environments depicted in Farm to Table offer many possible conversations around gender, identity, and class. Who is growing the food? Who prepares it? Why is a particular food depicted and other food not? William & Mary professor of food and identity, Deborah Lee-Ferrand, will join Chrysler Curator, Mark Castro, to uncover the symbolic clues in the exhibition’s artworks and gain a better understanding of the stories they reveal.
Free for Museum members, $10 for non-members.
