Introducing Andy Warhol's Campbell Soup Cans Serial I and Two

Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans are perhaps the most well-known images of American modern art. Initially created as a serial of xxx two canvases in 1962, the soup cans gained international acclaim as a breakthrough in Pop Fine art.  When the paintings were first exhibited in that year, they were displayed together similar products at a grocery shop.  Each soup can corresponded to a different season and resembled the actual image of the ruddy and white Campbell's Soup cans.  Though they appeared identical to the well-known grocery items, the artist's handiwork was axiomatic through the slight variations in the lettering and in the hand-stamped fluer-de-lis symbols on the bottom of each can. This juxtaposition between pure replication and the artist's paw makes the series all the more intriguing.

Warhol's inspiration for the serial developed from his personal life. He explains "I used to drink it. I used to take the aforementioned lunch every twenty-four hour period, for 20 years, I judge, the same thing over and over once more." This sense of repetition was definitely both internalized by the artist and embodied past commercial mass civilisation. Initially, the debut of the Campbell'due south Soup Cans was widely contested every bit many viewers struggled to grapple with such flagrant appropriation of a commonplace object. Yet, Warhol would take the themes of repetition and mass production further past creating 2 portfolios of Campbell's Soup Can screen prints in 1968.

Screen print Portfolios I and II

The screen print portfolios Campbell'southward Soup Cans I and Campbell's  Soup Cans II were created in 1968 and 1969 respectively. Each portfolio contains 10 screen prints and corresponds with the paintings and were 1 of the first portfolios to be published through Factory Additions, a company Warhol created to distribute his prints.  The mechanical photo silk-screen procedure would further erase whatsoever trace of the artist's paw and create a level of precision matching the design of the cans.  This is an interesting adaptation of a medium which was typically used for producing advertisements.  Warhol deliberately used the associations with the medium to brand viewers question what qualifies a true work of art. The motivation behind the screenprints is succinctly summarized past  Warhol's famous words: "I want to exist a auto." Truly, this series of prints are Warhol's nigh uniform and mechanical images he ever produced.  Shortly after, this type of printmaking became Warhol's signature medium .
