Warhol's Soup Cans

Pittsburgh, PA

The soup cans are probably the most recognizable images in American art, and Warhol intended it that way. He borrowed the Campbell's brand name to help make his own fame. He was part of the Pop revolution that was remaking art - destroying the serious, sublime aspirations of artists like Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko. Warhol's paintings remain mysterious, yet admirers consider him in the upper echelon of artists to grace the 20th century.
