Andy Warhol's Campbell Soup Jar is probably the most famous image of American contemporary art. Originally made in the 13th series of paintings in 1962, the soup pot has gained international recognition as a breakthrough in pop art. When paintings were first displayed in that year, they were displayed like grocery stores' products. Like the real image of red and white Campbell's soup cans, each soup can be tailored to a different taste. Though they look similar to famous food items, handmade artists' artworks are evident by slight fluctuations in the letters and on the bottom of each can by the handwritten sign of fluer-de-lis. This juxtaposition between pure reproduction and artist's hand makes this series more interesting.
Warhol is inspired from his private life. He explained, "I was drinking it, I think I was eating the same lunch for 20 years every day." This repetitive emotion is completely internalized by the artist and is embodied by commercial pop culture. Initially, the debut of Campbell's soup can was widely questioned as many viewers struggled to overcome this gorgeous infringement of this general item. But Warhol would mass produce further duplicate subject matter by creating two combinations of Campbell's soup screen prints in 1968.
The combination of screen printing Campbell's Soup I and Campbell II were created in 1968 and 1969, respectively. Each collection contains 10 screen prints corresponding to paintings and is one of the first collections published through Factory Additions created by Warhol to distribute his work. The mechanical photo screen printing process further eliminates traces of artists' hands and creates precision that matches the design of the can. This is an interesting adaptation of the media, which is commonly used to create advertisements. Warhol deliberately used the connection with the media and asked the audience what genuine art work was. The motivation behind screen printing is briefly summarized by Warhol's famous 'I want to be a machine' word. In fact, this series of prints is the most uniform and mechanical image produced by Warhol. Shortly thereafter, this kind of prints became a symbolic medium for Warhol.
Andy Warhol is famous for using familiar images from consumer culture and mass media, including celebrities and tabloid news photos, comic strips, and a large expenditure by Campbell's Soup Company. Canned soup In 1962 when he first exhibited Campbell's soup can, the canvas was on display together on the shelf, just like a grocery store's passage product. At that time, Campbell sold 32 kinds of soup, but 32 kinds of Warhol's canvas corresponded to different taste respectively. (The first flavor introduced by the company in 1897 is tomatoes)
Campbell's soup pot is sometimes called 32 Campbell's soup pot and was made by Andy Warhol in 1962. It consists of 32 canvas each with 20 inches (51 cm) in height and 16 inch (41 cm) in width, each consisting of Campbell's paintings. Individual paintings are created in a semi-mechanical screen printing process, using a method that is not prepress. Campbell's soup jar has a pop culture theme to help incorporate pop art as a major art movement in the United States.
In 1962, American artist Andy Warhol first explored his famous "soup pot" theme. The 32 soup pots consist of 32 hand-painted and handwritten canvas, each drawing a different flavor of Campbell's soup. Warhol is a revolutionary pop artist who chose this theme because pop art is focused on mass production and interested in repeating art. "I was drinking it.I have been eating the same lunch every day for 20 years, but I repeat the same things over and over again." Idea many times. But in these later pieces he transferred his process from painting to screen printing. It is a way to make prints suitable for commercial production.
