Modernist Cuisine 2019 Wall Calendar
About this book
From a cheeseburger that defies gravity to rainbow chard seen from the perspective of an ant, each photograph in the 2019 Modernist Cuisine calendar tells a story about the foods that we eat every day. The calendar features 18 new images by photographer and Modernist Cuisine founder Nathan Myhrvold. Inside this calendar you’ll discover falling glasses of wine frozen in a spectacular embrace, an up-close view of the tiny hairs on raspberries, and ordinary ingredients, like a Red Delicious apple, transformed into beautiful monoliths. Myhrvold continually experiments with new photography techniques and equipment to produce magical images that portray food in fresh and unexpected ways. He utilizes research microscopes, writes custom software, designs custom cameras and rigs, and builds robots to help capture unbelievable shots of liquid in motion and levitating food. Every image in the calendar is part of the collection of limited-edition artwork at Modernist Cuisine Gallery, with locations across the United States. This 16-month calendar includes observed U.S. and Canadian holidays, as well as a selection of 60 food holidays and a seasonal produce chart to help you celebrate the beauty of food all year long.
