Perhaps Jonathan Gold’s final contribution to criticism was not on food, but art. Check out this wonderful piece in Artillery Magazine, where Gold and Artillery’s Editor-in-Chief, Tulsa Kinney, walk the streets of LA exploring galleries — and food, naturally. Gold does indeed compare food to art, and amongst other small but resonant gems, when asked by Kinney “if he sees a correlation between food and art, he pauses, ‘They both turn to shit the next day?’ Then more seriously, again, a question to an answer, “They are both ways of looking at the world?’”
Thank you, Artillery, for this last glimpse into the heart and mind of a most soulful and truly beautiful man.
Thank you so much for the nice things said about my interview with Jonathan Gold. What a tragedy. I appreciate you passing on the story.–Tulsa Kinney
