Although Andy Warhol was never never one of my true favorites, I respect him both for his talent and what he did to change our culture and the way we view art today. Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup series was a string of important pieces that I believe caused these positive changes within our society. At the time this series came out, a lot of critics and artists saw it as crude and tasteless in comparison to the prevalent abstract impressionist movement that was taken place at the time. It wasn’t art. Soup isn’t art. Except that fact that it actually is, and Andy Warhol was one of the first artists to see it in that way. It’s often unacknowledged that there are designers that are behind creating and drawing out the designs we see on our everyday products, whether it be toilet paper, bleach, or a can of soup. There are people behind creating the enticing labels that urge us to crave and need that product. Andy Warhol shined a light on a whole world of unrecognised artists, …show more content…
Not just designers, but also other artists that influence our daily lives like architects and animators and industrial designers. Practically any field you could possibly think of. While I still feel there is a lot of under appreciation for things that are not fine arts related— Andy Warhol forced us to acknowledge the fact that art is all around us. Without Andy Warhol, there wouldn’t be nearly as many people upon the earth that could look around them, and simply appreciate those behind the making of their comfortable home and the film they’re watching on their beautiful, cozy furniture. Warhol opened us to what was all around us, but what we never really saw before. Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup series was important to the growth of our society, and I’d glad it’s here with us
Andy Warhol was a graphic artist, painter, and film maker, amoung other things, also associated with Pop Art. He moved to New York, around 1950, where he did his first advertisements as a comercial artist and, later, began showing in expositions. One technique employed by Warhol involved repeditive silk screen prints on canvas. He used this method to produce many series of prints with various, easily reconizable images. Between 1962 and 1964 in his self titled studio “The Factory”(Phaidon 484), Warhol produced over two thousand pictures. One of these, Lavender Disaster, was made in 1963 and belonged to a series of pictures all including the same image of an electric chair.

Andy Warhol and Frida Kahlo had an immense amount of impact on the world of art. Warhol has always explored the rooted connection between celebrity culture and artistic expression, which left him with a lasting legacy that has marked him for one of the most famous artists to have existed. The population was fascinated by Warhol’s ability to blur the lines between fine art and innovative design, providing him a large following and work that will be remembered for decades. Kahlo too is a name that is not likely to be forgotten. Her work is recognizable on a global level and her works are loved by many people. The deep admiration her followers have given her, and the amount of modern artists that she has influenced, creates an immortalization
Andrew Warhola was born August Sixth, 1928, in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. He was the youngest son of Julie and Andrej Warhola, both immigrants from Czechoslovakia. After a quiet childhood spent alternately alone and in art classes, Andrew went to college. He then got a job doing commercial art, largely advertisements for large companies. Over time his name was shortened and Andy Warhol changed the face of modern art. Through his silver lined Factory and the many people who frequented it a revolution was born. This paper will discuss some of these people and examine the impact they all made on modern art.
Not only is he the most inspirational artist from the 20th century, he's also the most amazingly talented artist that has ever existed. He created the famous Marilyn Monroe and the Campbell’s Soup Cans pop art, or better known as the “Marilyn Diptych” and the “Campbell’s Soup Cans”. None other than Andy Warhol created this amazing art, he's also created much more inspiring many young artists including myself. Even though Andy had a rough begenning life, was not socially accepted by other artists, and was nearly killed when he was shot 3 times, he never stopped making beautiful art for the world to see. Andy is the main reason the world is so creative today.
Andy Warhol was one of the most famous and successful graphic artists in the last century. His iconic paintings and prints are still remembered and noted today. If you see a brightly colored illustration of a celebrity, who do you think of? Andy Warhol, who was known for his portraits and product-based art work. Even looking at something as simple as a Campbell’s Soup can can trigger the thought of the 60’s artist.
Born Andrew Warhola August 6, 1928 in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, this peculiar boy was different from the very beginning. He was an outsider in grade school mainly for the things he did. “Most of his peers from Holmes Elementary School looked up to athletes like Joe DiMaggio and played basketball themselves, but Andy’s idol was Shirley Temple” (Lowmiller 1). Andy showed a wonderful talent for drawing at an early age. It was not a surprise that his favorite pastime was drawing flowers. After becoming ill at 6 years old, Andy was confined to his bed. His family took their time to entertain him for hours by showing him how to draw, trace and print images. The love for drawing grew greater as Andy got older. Extremely smart for his age, Andy graduated Schenely High School early, at 16 years old, and in 1945, finished 51st in his class of 278 graduates. Later, after his father passed away in 1942, Andy continued his education and got accepted at Carnegie Institute of Technology three years later. He was the first of his family to ever go beyond high school. During the summer, Andy helped his oldest brother, Paul, sell fruits a...
Now, twenty-three years after Warhol’s death, his face and art are on T-shirts, iPods, blue jeans, sunglasses, Christmas cards, handbags, skateboards and wallpaper. His reputation and popularity are both endless and his works of art continue to fetch enormous sums of money. Even with his death, Warhol’s name continues to be met with both publicity and infamy. Ultimately, Andy Warhol’s legacy lies with his outlandish and exotic style of art and his lust for materialism and wealth.
The Pop Art movement, centralised in the United States during the 1950s-60s, was a stage in the post modernism era in which the line between low art and high art was blurred and art was more accessible to the general public (Gambino, 2011). Andy Warhol was an iconic artist during the pop art movement alongside artists like Rauschenberg and Lichtenstein. “Campbell’s Soup Cans” (1962) and “Marilyn Diptych” (1962) depict icons from two different contexts and illustrate the theme of over consumption in post war United States. This essay argues that Warhol’s art documented the age in which he lived in. Specifically, these two works creates parallel between the commoditisation of a product and a person. The pop art movement is reflective of the societal
Graphic designer and typographer Stefan Sagmeister has always had a unique way of viewing the world, therefore has created designs that are both inventive and controversial. He is an Austrian designer, who works in New York but draws his design inspiration while traveling all over the world. While a sense of humor consistently appears in his designs as a frequent motif, Sagmeister is nonetheless very serious about his work. He has created projects in the most diverse and extreme of ways as a form of expression. This report will analyse three of Stefan’s most influential designs, including the motives and messages behind each piece.
Warhol was successful in bringing a new form of art to the forefront of an ever changing artworld in the 1960`s. I am interested in the field of commercial and graphic art and it's connection to advertising.
This paper deals, in broadest terms, with the questions of how artwork is connected to the changes and dynamics that prevail in a society. To describe these changes, I will investigate how a specific type of art reflects its social content in contemporary societies. My analysis is carried out by closely looking at the Pop Art movement, especially with Andy Warhol, who has come to be known as one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. It will be argued that Pop Art managed to successfully articulate its time, and in so doing, it became a widely influential art movement whose effect is still very much existent in today’s world of art. In order to prove its claim, this paper relies on the theory of “the field of cultural production” by Pierre

Campbell’s Soup Cans was the first of several works created with this theme. The thirty two paintings are very similar, each one of them has a realistic image of the iconic red and white can of Campbell’s soup over a white background. The paintings have minor variations in the names that indicate the flavor of each soup. The majority of these are written with red letters; however, four varieties have additional black letters, like the “Clam Chowder” painting that says “Manhattan Style” in black letter under the name. The “Beef” flavor can also has black letters indicating that it is made “With Vegetables and Barley”, while the “Scotch Broth” has black letters that say “A Hearty Soup”, and the “Minestrone” can has “Italian-Style Vegetable Soup” also written in this color. In addition, there are two flavors that have words in parenthesis written in red letters under the type of soup. One of them is the “Beef Broth” tha...
During my whole life and experience I have been interested in the Art, Creativity, and I have been traveling around Graphics Designing. When I go out to centres, supermarkets, the high streets around Kingston anywhere in London, Germany and other parts of Europe which I have seen. I have seen lots of Graphics designs in advertising, Billboards companies for example in electronical products or any type of product the graphics advertising companies running around the world, just because of that I was inspired in the graphics designing and I was influence by the subject.
