Above, Potato; and below, a Henry Moore
If anybody else has any pictures of vegetables shaped like famous artworks, monuments etc, do send them in. It will be like an upmarket version of "That's Life".

Henry Moore Potato
Imagine my suprise and delight last night as I opened a bag of baking potatoes and discovered that one of them had grown itself into a tuberistic homage to Henry Moore.

I have an old lump of stilton in the fridge that looks a bit like the Lucien Freud painting of Leigh Bowery. Do I win a prize?
ReplyDeletePotatoes are indeed very Moore-ish.
ReplyDeleteFor shame, Gaw, for shame.
ReplyDeleteTry the Turner, Worm.
Upmarket, you think?
ReplyDeleteI was laughing as soon as I saw the picture and title in my list of blogs to read. Why has nobody spotted this before? Tempted to say it has more 'eyes' than a Moore sculpture.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think of 'tuberism' as a new art movement?
ReplyDeletepost-modern tuberism = a packet of Smash
ReplyDeleteAll this talk of root vegetables and fine arts can't help but remind me of this.
ReplyDeleteProbably, it shouldn't be funny but there's a kind of inspired idiocy in the details. (Why is Ian Osenthroat a funny name and why is "former photocopier salesman" perfect? Why does Minstrel Cycle make me laugh?)
New gallery...The Spud Modern
ReplyDeleteisn't it the 'Tato Modern?
ReplyDeleteWith its Director Sir Nicholas Potata
ReplyDeleteGerhard Fritter tried his hand at sculpture, didn't last, kept losing the peeler.
