*Vegetarian Vegetable from Campbell's Soup II*, 1969
Andy Warhol (American, 1928?1987)
Screenprint; 35 x 23 in. (88.9 x 58.4 cm)
Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Eider-Orley, 1972 (1972.724.3)

A seminal figure in the Pop Art movement of the early 1960s, Warhol,
like his contemporaries Roy Lichtenstein and James Rosenquist,
appropriated images from American popular culture for his large-scale
paintings and prints. Seeking an alternative to the highly charged
canvases of the Abstract Expressionists, Warhol rendered his serial
images of cultural icons and common consumer items using the commercial
technique of silkscreen. This slick image of a Campbell's soup can,
taken from the second of two Soup Can portfolios produced by Warhol in
the late 1960s, exemplifies his increasing interest in hands-off,
mass-produced works of art. Its clean, mechanical surface and perfect
registration contrast with his earlier paintings, which resonate with
irregularities and imperfections.
