Warhol's Campbell Soup Can Project

Abstract: The Campbell soup cans project was one of the early and most successful of Andy Warhol's projects. It established Warhol's preferred method of silk-screening with acrylics, oil and enamel on canvas. Of all the pop art images, the Campbell's Soup Can is probably the most famous and easily recognized as pop art. First exhibited in 1962, it threatened the concept of 'fine art' and meshed it with the emerging graphic arts culture and was linked irrevocably to the basic pop art iconography of consumer items. This 8 page paper explores the process of silk screening and the function, medium, elements, structure and style Warhol used in the Campbell soup cans project. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
