\"An<\/figure>\n\n\n

Maybe you’ve ambled by wholly preoccupied by the squeak of fresh cheese curds from the Farmers Market. Or perhaps the concert after party is heading for a juicy cheeseburger in The Paradise Lounge and you snicker strolling by. It is after all a type of mundane advertising that we all autonomously filter from our ever decreasing attention spans.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This underappreciated corporate art piece should be preserved for future generations to enjoy. We live in a reality where that guy got elected again, prices for ($NameAnything) are going up, and you pay more taxes than Disney because they thought a live action Moana would make money. It is all but inevitable that an indifferent corporation will remove anything that brings joy to people that isn’t already monetized.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Some merely see a piece of white bread and two eggs. But others see it for what it is. A subtle work deserving of puerile admiration. There may be others like it out there, but this one belongs to Madison, Wisconsin. It is OUR Bread Dick.\u00a0

Origins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The earliest Madison appearance of the Bread Dick in Google Maps is from 2016. Research into more a more precise origin date is ongoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bread Dick has been a staple of the Capitol Square in Madison, Wisconsin for over a decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Interpretations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On its surface the Bread Dick looks like a mundane piece of corporate art. It is the last in a sequence of banal images<\/a> advertising the presence of a national convenience store chain. The collection incluedes aloe leaves, a beauty model, a pharmacist, and lastly the bread and two eggs combination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
