Carlo Marcucci’s wall-mounted sculpture “Wheatfields LXVI” appears in Carolyn Tillie’s new illustrated book “A Feast for the Eyes: Edible Art from Apple to Zucchini”.

Throughout history, artists have used food as a subject and a medium to create art. In her second publication, Tillie explores the curious genre and explains about apple-head dolls, butter sculptures, coffee paintings, electrified vegetable sculptures, ethereal molecular gastronomy, and why artists have carved a grand cathedral entirely of salt and built a giant palace made of corn.
