Campbell's Soup Cans

Andrew Warhola (Andy Warhol) was born on August 6th, 1928, in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. His parents were Carpatho-Rusyn immigrants, and Andy was the youngest of 3. Andy attended Holmes School in Pittsburgh and attended free art classes at Carnegie Institute. Andy loved art, movies, and frequently went to the local cinema. When Andy was nine, he was given his first camera. Andy converted a section of his parent’s basement into a darkroom where he developed his pictures. In 1945 Andy attended…

was enough to want it, as in a fable of identity, where reality could be manipulated; in short, the breakup of a catastrophe to a happy end, also because in the end “ours” arrive, causing a fantastic artificial paradise, after Pittsburgh limbo. We can say that he does not look for something in particular, he just wanders between people and things. At the end he finds, picking up what the metropolis lets falling around and lets dropping everything because all is consumable, even life and…

1970’s.In between these two decades the world of fine art saw some of the best works from artists like Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, James Rosenquist among others.

The prices of several products has changed drastically since the 1930’s to now. A gallon of gas only cost 10 cents. A dozen eggs only cost 18 cents. It is very apparent that prices have changed, but why? Do you ever wonder why prices have changed so significantly since the 30’s? The main factor of these changes is due to Annual Inflation Rates, and the Great Depression. Prices began to steadily drop during The Great Depression. “By 1932 stocks were worth only about 20 percent of their value in…

Soviet Union. It is home to political figures like Boris Yeltsin, Mikhail Gorbachev and Vladimir Putin as well as historical figures like Ivan the Terrible, Grigori Rasputin and the Romanov family.

Art has always fascinated me in many ways. It is all around and can be seen almost anywhere. I have always found art interesting because of the attention to detail, scale of the projects, and plain beauty involved in some pieces. A very important person in my life introduced me to the beauty of art and from that time on, I have been interested ever since. One time me and my friend went on a road trip to further our interests in art. We went to the Cleveland Museum of Art. I had an amazing time…

portrait of Campbell’s Soup Cans from 1962 hovered over my head. The different labels of the Campbell cans creates the defining image of the Warhol copyright. The 32 different canvases of soup cans are varied only by the label on the front of each can. Warhol points out in his work that he “mimicked the repetition and uniformity of advertising by carefully reproducing the same image across each individual canvas” (MoMA). This is ironic. From personal experience, I have seen the Campbell soup can…

The world of arts is a vast myriad of artist and their pieces trying to leave a lasting mark on the world. Of these artist there are a select few that leave that lasting mark and it is these elite that help define what art is. There are two legendary icons of art that mastered what it meant to be a great artist, each in their own way. Leonardo da Vinci and Andy Warhol are legendary in the art world and their masterpieces are one of a kind; however, when comparing the two the renaissance master…

Parenting What are the different types of parenting? Aisle three at Brookshires. She and her toddler were looking for Campbell’s Chicken Noodle Soup. Her toddler gets a can of corn and holds it up longingly. She brusquely tells him to put it up, dragging him away by his hair. The household of a house of two. The mother, drunk and sober, letting her son go as he pleases. The parking lot at Wal-Mart. He and his child were heading to the car to leave. His child asks his dad if he could go and get…

Companies have various target groups when they run promotional messages. However, the one particular company I have observed is Campbell’s Soup Company and its promotional message. First, the message is targeted towards families who want nutritional and healthy food for their children. (Campbells, n.d) Secondly, the message is consistent with a particular slogan of “Mm, mm good” whether in the print advertisement or media advertisement, that slogan is heard loud and clear.
