EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Living to eat" by Leopold Zechmayer, an Austrian artist from the 19th century, offers a thought-provoking commentary on our relationship with food. Created between 1805 and circa 1860, this cartoon-like artwork depicts a scene where indulgence in excessive eating is portrayed as more detrimental than war itself. Intriguingly, the image showcases various culinary delights such as lobster, chicken, meat, and pig alongside human bodies. The inclusion of Strassburger pastete (Strasbourg Pie) and Foie gras of Srasbourg highlights the opulence associated with gastronomy during that era. A spoon and fork are juxtaposed with a sable sword symbolizing the contrast between nourishment and destruction. This engraved image not only serves as a historic art piece but also reflects upon societal values surrounding food consumption. Zechmayer's illustrative technique captures attention through its retro-styled composition while conveying a timeless message about overindulgence. As we contemplate this vintage artwork from the Liszt Gourmet Archive collection, it prompts us to reflect on our own eating habits in today's world. Are we truly living to eat? And if so, at what cost? This thought-provoking piece reminds us that moderation is key when it comes to our relationship with food - for excess can be just as deadly as any conflict or war we may face.
