Andy Warhol (1928-1987)

1968
Description
Similar to many other Warhol depictions of Campbell soup, this can is a tomato soup can. He uses the same screen printing technique to create this one, and actually created this one before the Scotch Broth and Golden Mushroom Campbell soup, yet under the same group of 1 with Chicken Noodle. By keeping the exact look of the can he connects with a broader audience over a product that was well-known across the US. Warhol is able to speak on the effects of consumerism by parodying the cans himself. By bringing all these depictions of consumerist cans together, all these screen prints together speak on the predictability of advertisement and the true over-dependence on it.
