For example, [Andy Warhol's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casetify-and-andy-warhol) plate features only the image of a banana, while Jackson Pollock is represented by strawberries and [abstract chocolate sauce](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dish-pics). Piet Mondrian's plate features perfectly square food--genius! The Modern Artists as Gourmet Dishes set provides a cheeky twist on some of art's greatest icons.
