Over the last thousands of years, food has been incorporated into art-making. In feeding picky eaters especially children, it is important to make the food look nice and funny because the look of the food constitutes a great part of the overall pleasure of eating
The tradition of depicting food in art has been continued through the centuries. The 16th century Italian artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo represented a specific still-life painting tradition, in which the artist arranged edible fruits and vegetables to create strange, human portraits.
Some more recent artists have moved beyond the idea of merely depicting food. Contemporary artists like Vik Muniz and Jana Sterbak have used real food as an art-making material.
