Campell's Soup Can, 1964. Andy Warhol. Courtesy of ArtInThePicture.com.I was speaking with my coworkers today and one of them called me a Warholist. This is definitely an interesting concept because I do enjoy Andy Warhol's sophisticated humor with consumerism and Americana. I just wonder if I am similar to him or not. Over the years, from a graphic design perspective, I appreciated Warhol's contribution to the historical context of artmaking, questioning its process, and creating reproductions. I even enjoyed Warhol's banter with painter, Jackson Pollock. I still wonder where I fit in the grand timeline of things. Perhaps Campbell soup cans are something to explore like shopping carts.
