    In an interview the artist proposed that the “great [thing] about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest” (Andy Warhol). With his artwork he reached out to millions. The best example of consumerism is the painting 100 Cans in 1962 seen on the left hand side. Even though the painting is by far not as famous as the Marilyn Monroe prints, it played a major role for Campbell soup sales. According to the Albright- Knox Art Gallery, Warhol designed a can that would be more attractive to the Pop Culture . By using different design elements he invited the user or buyer into purchasing the Campbell soup over other soup products. Through the use of elements such as space and and value, the painting appears to be a 3D image. Bright colors catch the consumers/ observer eyes and invites one into the image.

Then I would go further analysis relating artistic features to social, historical, and cultural background and figure out what this art meant to those people.

    Pablo Picasso and Raoul Dufy both had a very different vision than any artist back in their time had. They both wanted to show that art could be different, but at the same time also beautiful. However, not everyone back in their time thought it was beautiful. In their works they both used women to show their different style. Picasso used the method of Cubism and Dufy used the method of Fauvism. They both wanted to show how they thought that a woman should look to portray their different visions. These two works of art are both very different because, Picasso made his woman dark and exaggerated and not so pleasing to the eye. Meanwhile Dufy wanted to show the beauty and grace of his woman with his colors. They both show their brilliance by the way they portray their women.
