CULTURE SHOCK THERAPY

A famous artist insisted every portrait include a hidden snack. Because inspiration hits better with carbs.

✗ FAKE
Artists did not require hidden snacks in portraits. Food does appear in some paintings as symbolism, such as in Dutch still lifes, but there is no known tradition of tucking snacks into portraits for inspiration.
