Dinner Is Served: How 10 Famous Artists Would Host Thanksgiving

You could say that Berkeley-based artist Hannah Rothstein works in the medium of “plated” art. She certainly knows how to play with her food, and her clever photo series titled Thanksgiving Special depicts edible versions of famous paintings by Andy Warhol, René Magritte, Vincent Van Gogh, and more.

Author of The Cocktail Hour Coloring Book and Yoga for Bros, Hannah Rothstein works in several traditional mediums – watercolors, acrylic, photography – as well as some of your less conventional materials like turkey, mashed potatoes, and gravy. Perhaps you’ve never thought to eat a Picasso (and rightfully so), but swap out the paint for stuffing and cranberry sauce and some of history’s most famous paintings are surprisingly appetizing.

A series of ten photographs in total, Thanksgiving Special is more than just a feast for the eyes; Rothstein sells prints of her edible art on her website, and donates ten percent of her profits to a local food bank.
