For some art lovers, the bread knife becomes a paint filler in the morning. There, quark is mixed with jam and greased gently next to the liverwurst. Delicate sugar sprinkles replace the brush swabs, from an avocado-broccoli sculpture creates the background. And finished is a masterpiece. Only which one?
Twitter user Marie Sophie Hingst launched this trend last summer. She designed a Mondrian made of cheese, tomatoes and blueberries on her cuddle and posted a photo of it with the hashtag #KunstHistoryAlsBrotbelag. Their example was followed within hours by so many users that Hingst now put together a refreshingly disrespectful illustrated book about it ("Kunstgeschichte als Brotbelag", Dumont Verlag).

"#ArtHistoryBreadcovering is understood as an attempt to take the Internet seriously as a place for small forms and big questions of art," writes Hingst in her foreword. He testifies, "how lively art and art history can be". Dürer's hare, for example, experienced a revival thanks to a liver sausage box. Caspar David Friedrich was clicked hard - as a salt-and-bone sculpture.
Art does not just happen in institutions, but potentially everywhere. It's about inspiration, interpretation, feeling and seeing. With childish pleasure and virtuoso lubrication, bread artists ventured to masterpieces.
