Campbell’s Soup Cans

Andy Warhol(1928-1987) is an American born painter, printmaker, and filmmaker who lead the way in Pop Art. He commercialized the art in his time and became famous for coining the saying, “Fifteen minutes of fame.” Campbell’s Soup Cans was a combination of painting and use of mechanical tools to create it, as a result it offended some artists, saying this was ‘disrespectful.’ Many tales behind the reason Warhol created his work exist, but one is simply, “I was a consumer of them.”
