On the cover The Cheesecake Factory® 25th Anniversary Tribute. Like fine art, creative food is indeed a masterpiece. And every masterpiece requires inspiration, passion and attention to detail. Inspired by the delicious desserts of The Cheesecake Factory and 25 master painters, this artistic tribute was a collaborative effort created by Jerry Thompson and Gioia Francella*. The piece features interpretive works in the styles of the world's greatest artists: Chagall, Braque, Da Vinci, Mondrian, Rauschberg, Pollock, Kahlo, Johns, Dali, Kandinsky, Lichtenstein, Klee, Van Gogh, O'Keeffe, Michelangelo, Miro, Escher, Magritte, Haring, Picasso, Rothko, Munch, Warhol and Matisse. It also features original Cheesecake Factory artwork as created by M.J. D'Astugues. The Cheesecake Factory wishes to thank The Coca-Cola Company for commissioning the creation of this artwork. *Jerry Thompson and Gioia Francella represent Dedica Marketing Group in Irvine, California
