After fine art and sex education, one of my ever-enduring interests is food. This should come as no surprise, as sex and food go hand-in-hand, as do sex and art, or art and food. Artists have always been on the cutting edge in portraying sex in two- and three-dimensions, and later using food in highly charged erotic pieces (a la feminist performance artist, Karen Finley, or Carolee Schneemann?s ?Meat Joy?). Hence, it comes as no surprise when confectioners turn to portraying the erotic form via use of one of the most noted edible aphrodisiacs: chocolate.California chocalatier, Joseph Schmidt, has recently come to the attention of the Babeland staff. Trained with European chefs, then embarking on a 6-year career as a pastry-maker, this Jerusalem immigrant finally turned his attention to chocolate. Now calling San Francisco home, Mr. Schmidt has since become known as the ?Rodin of Chocolate.? His exquisitely detailed chocolate sculptures run the gamut from delicate floral arrangements, to bonsai trees, to the nude form.While this edible art is sadly not for sale, you can still feast your eyes upon his online gallery. There you will find the ultimate amalgamation of my own (and many others?) holy trinity: food, sex, and of course art.
