‘Deserted on a Dessert’ Art Print by Vertigo Artography.

Deserted on a Dessert is a perfectly timed, gloriously observed and deeply funny surreal collage art print that takes one of the great unsung art forms of the twentieth century, the vintage cookbook food photograph and improves it enormously by adding a woman reclining directly inside the dish. A glass Pyrex baking dish filled with a strawberry and rhubarb crumble, golden topping, jammy fruit at the edges, a portion already served onto a plate beside it with a generous dollop of cream, fresh strawberries scattered to the left, rhubarb stalks with their green leaves in the background, this is a 1960s recipe supplement photograph of absolute technical perfection. Warm, saturated, slightly faded, the colours of strawberry pink and rhubarb red and cream filling the frame in the way that only mid century food photography could achieve.

Composed. Comfortable. Completely at home in her crumble.

Reclining directly on top of the crumble as if it were a sun lounger on the most delicious holiday imaginable, a 1960s woman in a floral mini dress, dark hair, completely composed, looking directly at the viewer with the calm of someone who has made an excellent decision and knows it. Her floral dress echoes the strawberries and rhubarb around her, she is almost camouflaged by the dessert, almost part of the recipe,  a human ingredient in the most surreal dish ever photographed. The scale collision is perfect and perfectly ambiguous, is she miniaturised into the dish, or is the dish enormous? both readings are equally, completely satisfying.

As demand grows for retro kitchen art, vintage food prints, kitsch diner decor and bold statement pieces for culinary spaces, Deserted on a Dessert sits at the perfect intersection of mid century cookbook nostalgia, surrealist wit and the deeply relatable fantasy of abandoning all responsibilities and simply lying down in a warm crumble. Perfect for kitchens, dining rooms, cafes, bakeries, vintage diners, tea rooms, eclectic living rooms and any space that understands that the best art makes you hungry and the best food makes you feel like art. This piece resonates with buyers searching vintage kitchen print, retro food art, kitsch kitchen decor, funny food art and surreal cookbook art. The art print for everyone who has ever looked at a crumble and thought: yes. That is exactly where I want to be.
