Meaning & Analysis

Warhol took much artistic inspiration from everyday consumer goods that can been seen as icons of American consumer culture. Ordinary objects like Brillo Boxes and Campbell's Soup Cans captured the artist’s attention and became the subjects of his fine artworks. Warhol challenges what can be considered a worthy subject of fine art by taking these commonplace objects and making them the focal point of his critically acclaimed artworks. In doing this, Warhol also raises questions as to what can be considered art and how one defines what ‘high’ culture or fine art is.

Speaking about Coca Cola, Warhol explains: “What’s great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Coca-Cola, and you know that the President drinks Coke, Liz Taylor drinks Coke, and just think, you can drink Coke, too.”

  • Andy Warhol was a leading figure of the Pop Art movement and is often considered the father of Pop Art. Born in 1928, Warhol allowed cultural references of the 20th century to drive his work. From the depiction of glamorous public figures, such as Marilyn Monroe, to the everyday Campbell’s Soup Can, the artist challenged what was considered art by blurring the boundaries between high art and mass consumerism. Warhol's preferred screen printing technique further reiterated his obsession with mass culture, enabling art to be seen as somewhat of a commodity through the reproduced images in multiple colour ways.
