Description
-
This Campbell's screen print alongside many others was a popular and reoccurring moment for Warhol's career. His use of screen printing allowed him to perfectly recreate the readymade commercial imagery, mechanical manufacture, and signature look of the soup cans. In the screen print he keeps the familiar red-and-white label of a Campbell’s Soup can, making it instantly recognizable to anyone in the audience, regardless of their social or economic status. However, he specifically depicts a Scotch Broth soup in this can print. He chose Campbell's soup, a product that was representative of the time and fed into the Pop Art's perspective on consumerism and its effects on people and their critical art deduction skills. By using an item that could be found at any supermarket he connects to his audience and broke the barriers of arts classist ways.
