I believe food is art if it’s meant to be looked at or listened with intensity. So it depends on whether the creators intentions is to make it a work of art or not. I believe that all chefs who make food have the intent of displaying their food to the customer as art. Each time they make food and give it to a customer, it has their name on it and is their creation. They will do their best on every dish to make it taste the best and look good each time it is given to a customer. Here is a quote, “If dishes of foods are works of art, then food is an art form. It would be implausible to maintain that food and drink never constitute works of art in the classifying sense. People sometimes treat them as works of art, and i have argued that we can compare the creator of a recipe to a composer, and the cook who follows one to a performer”(21). As long as creator and follow have the intention of making the food art, then it is a work of art. The theory of art that best represents my view of food as an art is postmodernism. It says “Rather than assuming that art reflects a unique and privileged kind of knowledge, postmodernists point out that any truth or reality is only a point of view”(19). It basically says that everybody interprets art according to their own individual and cultural sensibilities. I agree with this and believe that art can be anything you want it to be.
