I myself do feel that food can be art. There are limitations to this fact in my mind. There are sometimes that food is just something that is needed and not something that is aesthetic. I agree that the idea of art is to be aesthetic and by that it is to be taken as something outside of an appreciation for normal means. “Aesthetic judgments can be made in the absence of the non-neutral reaction which normally accompanies them” (Telfer). This means that we can find something to be aesthetically good in any scenario. This is not always the case of food, but in the case of food there is an aesthetic joy that comes from food. It goes beyond the idea of simply enjoying what is seen on a plate as nourishment, and seeing it as the combination of artistic talents that are needed to create the food. Especially for anyone who has tried to cook gourmet food, the amount of artistic presentation is just as important to the piece as is the nourishment or flavor.
I think that food as art is a perfect form of art in the medieval sense of the word. Dissanayake talks about the word “techne” and how it refers to activities that require a certain level of skill. Dissanyake argues that these mundane actions are not what we would consider art today, but I disagree with this interpretation. It is exactly that skill that is put into the work that makes food art. Not every piece of food is art, but there are aesthetic parts to all the ingredients and in certain forms the presentation is more complex than some of the great works of “art” in the world. In its highest form cooking and food preparation is one of the highest forms of true art in my mind.
I really enjoyed how you touched on the idea that food goes beyond just nourishment. Although this is how food was first viewed, today with post modern approaches we have taken the “mundane” and transformed it into something that is beyond the norm. I don’t believe there is anyway we are able to solely look at food as nourishment due to not only the diversity and uniqueness with presentation but also with taste in terms of new and exciting flavors, mixing unexpected ingredients together to create something magical. How much do you think the content of the food meaning the flavors that evoke emotion within you compared to the presentation is considered art. Many people may take food and shape it in a certain way and call it art. But how much do you consider food that has the overall goal to please your palette as well as your emotional response due its appearance (surface aesthetics)do you view as art? Do you think people take for granted the creativity that goes into art?
