Bread in Art




Paul Cezanne, Bread and Eggs, 1865, Cincinnati Art Museum, USA


In my search for bread in art, I have come across this wonderful still-life by Paul Cezanne. 
Why would an artist choose this as a subject for a painting? 'bread and eggs' simple easy fare, good wholesome food, a unifying factor around the world. What country doesn't have its version of bread and eggs? Who among us hasn't had this wonderful combination as a tasty snack. From boiled egg and soldiers to eggy bread, this is real comfort food.

How do you eat yours?
