"A 1970 Eat Art poster in English, vividly embodied the
idea of art as food, as well as recalling Spoerri's concrete
poetry experiments of the 1950s. A lowercase ‘e’ with
voracious choppers bears down on the tip of a wedged-shaped ‘A’ speared
with a ‘T.’ The edible conglomerate of the ‘A’ and ‘T’ forms
an arrow pointing the way from the word ART to the proto-Pac-man
mouth of the ‘e’.
