Cocinalia’s Online Food Museum 
My dear SaoMai from Cocinalia, world traveler and consummated art & food lover (like ME!), is the mastermind behind the "Online Food Museum". She invites all food bloggers from all over the world to participate in this FUN, educational and cultural event.
This is a very interesting project that focuses on "Gastronomy" viewed through the eyes of an artist. It consists of four exhibition rooms. Every contribution includes the title, name of the author, blogger's name and blog link.
- Anphora's Room dedicated to the Ancient Art
- Partriges Room dedicated to the Classic Art
- Sunflowers Room dedicated to the Impressionist Art
- Fast-Food Room dedicated to the Contemporary Art
Now, my contribution:
By Georges Villa. He is most famous for his beautiful posters of the 1920's through the 1950's. This "2nd. Exposition, Culinaire et Gastronomique" was held in Paris from December 1st - 30th, 1928. It is beautifully decorated in great detail, showing a female chef, fish, seafood, a rabbit, grape vines and other delicious foods. I love this piece, specially because it also decorates my office!
Villa was a prolific painter, engraver, lithographer and illustrator. He was born in 1883 and died in 1965. Among all Cornet Societe artist, Villa's work show the finest detail and his work represent the most exquisite lithographic detail. He was a member of the Humoristes Societe as well as Chevalier de la Legion d'honneur.
Happy Holidays!

Hello my friend, now you hit a nerve! I LOVE culinary art! One place I find
inspiring is the Escoffier Museum in the south of France. It has wonderful
vintage culinary art, and especially fun are the old menus! I adore seeing what they were eating “then”.......keep the bubbles floating
to the top, best wishes for continued joy in the holiday season
and into the next year…..Hillary

MONA: I agree with you, the poster is so feminine and at the same time so powerful!
HILLARY: Thank you for your visit! Oh yes, those vintage menus are a piece of art! I also enjoy collecting vintage cookbooks. The ads are just amazing! Good luck this year with your fruitcakes. If its possible, do not forget to take a photo so we se final look of your culinary creation. Hugs!
RUNNING2Ks, SAILU & PAZ: if you have the time…, remember to post your favorite culinary art piece and send the link to SaoMai, so she can include it in the Museum.
