Bread in Life and Art
Stand:
There has always been art in the creation of bread; white
bread has never been the same as whole grain, nor bread baked in a baker´s the
same as bread baked at home, nor rolls the same as bread to be used during the
meal; the giant loaves used to break records or to feed thousands at a
celebration are definitely not the same as the bread roll. |
However, it is only now, when we have a great deal of
leisure time, that the creative urge rises, and we look for new art activities
which are at hand.
Little by little, pure art is being introduced into the
making of bread; it is an object of art both inside and outside. Each day the
professionals introduce new styles, which not only make bread more easy to use,
( different types, sizes, more attractive shapes), but also by changing the
colour of the crust of the bread by baking it longer. Now bread is presented with trimmings in the shape of
flowers, dolls, drawings, etc., details which transform the loaf of bread into
something which is displayed in the shop window, and stays there getting harder
and harder, because what the proprietor is saying is that this is an
establishment in which they underestand bread. There are loaves which nobody
could eat because it would be a pain to destroy them, always supposing that they
are for sale, which I do not know! The bakers´windows of today can be as
attractive and as competivite artistically as the windows of a high fashion
dress shop. |
