Vegetables in art

[magid]

I was lying in bed last night, and the thought of vegetables in art floated across my brain in that almost dreamy logic sort of way, focusing on the foods themselves. I came up with three pieces immediately (ignoring all the many still life/cornucopia paintings, cookbooks, or anything that’s trying to get kids to eat vegetables):

“Greens, Greens” song from Into the Woods (Sondheim)

How Are You Peeling? Foods with Moods book by Saxton Freymann

June 29, 1999 book by David Wiesner

eta How could I have forgotten Immanuel ben Solomon of Rome’s poem From the Hungry, Praise, in appreciation of alliums! /edit

I’m certain I’m missing so very many. Suggestions?

Oh, I managed to miss that by seeing one author in your post and the other in search results! Oops. :-)

Hey, it’s still something I hadn’t thought of (I’d forgotten there was another book). Not an oops :-)
