Modernist Bread Tribute to Giuseppe Arcimboldo

Visual imagery is a huge part of what we do at Modernist Cuisine, but we faced new challenges with our new book Modernist Bread. The bright, bold color palette from our previous books shifted to shades of brown and off-white when our focus turned to bread. That meant that Nathan and the photography team had to be even more creative with the visuals, which makes for a lot of great stories. While we can’t share them all, the story behind our all-bread Giuseppe Arcimboldo tribute (internally known as Bread Pitt) is one that we’ve been looking forward to revealing.

Here you can see the sculpture come together, starting with a sketch by head chef and co-author Francisco Migoya. From start to finish, construction took between six and seven hours. When complete, the finished sculpture came in at over 3-by-4 feet. Modernist Cuisine founder and co-author Nathan photographed the portrait of Bread Pitt in our photo studio. From the lighting to the dark painted backdrop, the set was carefully built to mimic details found in many of Arcimboldo’s works.
