I really like how you don't care much if the dish isn't perfect, because the point is to show that artists are human and so, maybe, we can all be artists. Or cooks.

I'm so excited, I'm making pain noir for a class project! Here is the written recipe for those who want it: 1/4 cup cornmeal 1/2 cup boiling water 1/3 cold water 1 package dry yeast 1 oz unsweetened chocolate 1/2 tablespoon butter 1/2 cup molasses 2 tsps salt 2 tsps caraway seeds 1/3 cup mashed potatoes 2/3 cup whole wheat flour 1/2 cup rye flour 1/3 cup all purpose flour 1 egg beaten, mixed with 1 tablespoon of water Coarse salt (optional) Tools 1 baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal dough scraper Steps 1. 1/4 cup of cornmeal in 1/2 cup boiling water, stir until smooth 2. Add 1/3 cup cold water to mixture to slightly cool the mixture to lukewarm 3. Add packet of dry yeast to the mixture stir in, set aside 4. In a small sauce pan add 1oz of unsweetened chocolate and add 1/2 tablespoon of butter as well 5. Heat this over low heat and then allow it to cool 6. Pour cornmeal slew to a mixer and then pour in cooled chocolate and give it a stir 7. Pour in then your 1/2 cup of molasses, 2 tsps salt, 2 tsps caraway seeds, and 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes 8. Beat this until smooth 9. Add in 2/3 cup whole wheat flour and then beat for two minutes 9. Cover mixture and set aside and let ferment for 1 hour 10. After the hour, pour in a 1/2 cup of rye flour, stir in until shaggy ball forms 11. Turn over onto a very well-floured work surface and turn the bread dough over and over ( dough will be very sticky) with a bench scraper, adding more flour as needed, for 8 minutes 12. Sticky dough is then added to a well-greased bowl and covered to let rest and rise for about 1 hour and 15 minutes or until doubled in size 13. Once time is up, punch down the dough, let rest for another 15 minutes 14. Then on a well-floured surface roll and shape the dough into a round shaped loaf 15. Set this aside for another 45 minute rise (maybe an hour) or until doubled in size again 16. Brush the top with beaten egg mixture, and sprinkle coarse salt over the top 17. This goes into the over for 10 minutes at 375, then for 35 minutes at 350 (or maybe longer if the loaf is still flat, keep an eye on it) 18. You know the loaf is done, when you can tap on the bottom and the loaf sounds hollow (please add corrections, if I mistyped anything)

Very creative on your part to make a video that even the most die hard Vincent fans might learn something from :) As one of the biggest influences on my life and art, I'm always hungry for more information about him.

I absolutely love these videos. Not only do they give insight to the every day side of an artist's life (as what one eats and how one eats it tells a lot about that person) but it also showcases cooking and the complexities that stem from it. Social class, the availability of resources, location, politics, and the time period with which the artist lived all culminate into their diets and better help us reflect on what factors play into our own.
@theartassignment6 жыл бұрын
Really good point. When art gets stored away in museums and as time passes, further and further away from its origin and context, so much of that apparent complexity is lost. Glad we could do something small to add that complexity back in. Thanks for watching and commenting thoughtfully!

So great to hear! I actually peeked in on The Starry Night on Tuesday. I had forgotten that it is covered in glass, which I understand from a conservation perspective, but when most of the paintings that surround are not, I think it makes me notice that decision more. With such a textural painting like that one, it pains me not to be able to see it without the glass! Of course I still enjoyed it, and again appreciated how impossible it is to accurately capture the color of a work through digital image. There I go with more complaints ;).

If anyone is interested, the coffee in the Potato Eaters is likely chicory coffee as coffee beans were still something of a luxury, especially for the peasants living far from the coffee houses of the cities. Serving potatoes with vinegar was also period typical. Interestingly in Bernadette Murphy's "Van Gogh's Ear", she found inventories of the local off-licences and a few of the bars/brothels Vincent mentioned in his letters, none of them stocked absinthe. She takes this to suggest that any placement of absinthe in any paintings from Arles was more symbolic than reality.
