During this part lecture, part hands-on confectionary art class, we’ll learn about the artists of the pop art movement that burst onto the scene in the UK and US during the 1950s, marking the beginning of the trend of artists as activists. We’ll craft an original recipe representing the artists’ works in aesthetics and flavors, incorporating the saturated hues and commercialized renderings of Andy Warhol’s screenprints with the graffiti style cartoonish silhouettes of Keith Haring’s paintings: a mini ruby chocolate cheesecake abloom with a banana taffy rose enshrined in a sugar dome punctuated with chocolate bourbon bites and bittersweet chocolate popping candy pearls. Whether one has synesthesia, possesses only a somewhat heightened sensory awareness, or is merely curious to explore how flavors correspond to shapes and colors, this class will inspire art history and confectionary enthusiasts to explore beyond the common sensory constraints.
