Campbell's Soup Cans

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 cans are similar to Warhol's inspired mass-produced print advertisements, but their canvases are hand painted and the folds at the bottom of each can are printed by hand. Warhol imitates duplication and consistency of advertisements by carefully duplicating the same image on each canvas. He only distinguishes labels on the front of each bottle and distinguishes them according to their type. Warhol talked about Campbell's soup, "I was drinking it, I think that I ate the same lunch twenty years every day"

Shortly after he completed Campbell's soup can, at the end of 1962, Warhol turned to photo screen printing. Originally invented in prepress technology for commercial use, it will be his iconic medium and will link his art production practices to the way advertisements are made. "I do not think that art should work for only a few people," he said.

With template-based prepress technology, the first step is to stretch the cloth (originally made of silk but now usually made of synthetic material) and paste it on a wooden frame to form a screen. Regions on the screen that do not belong to the image are blocked by various template-based methods. Next, use a doctor blade to press the ink directly onto the paper from the unblocked area of ​​the screen. Screen printing typically has a flat, rigid edge region of unmodulated color. Also called screen printing and screen printing

Artwork on paper, usually with multiple copies. It is not created directly on paper, but it is created through the transfer process. Artists first make compositions on other surfaces such as metal or wood and transfer when the paper is inked and the paper contacting there passes through the printer. Four common prepress technologies are woodcut prints, etching, lithographic printing and screen printing.

Andy Warhol is illustrator, painter, printmaker, sculptor, magazine publisher, film producer, photographer and de facto record keeper of his era era. For his early paintings, he borrowed from his experience as a commercial illustrator, with his (and other sources of) patterns in his work.

Warhol is following the success of his original collection including several related works of the same theme as the Campbell soup can's theme. Together with the original, these subsequent works are collectively called Campbell's soup cans and are often called Campbell's soup cans. Campbell's soup work was very diverse. The height ranges from 20 inches (510 mm) to 6 feet (1.8 m). Generally, the cans are drawn like freshly made cans without cockroaches. Occasionally he chose to use a torn label to paint a can, a peeled label, a crushed body or an open lid (right). Sometimes he adds related items like soup bowl and can opener (image on bottom right). Like the box of carving campbell tomato juice box (upper left), sometimes we create images of related items without using soup cans, but this is part of the theme, but part of the strict series It is not.

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.
