Tomato Soup

Just thought I’d pay another visit to the Cambell’s Soup Can by Andy Warhol. Not only did it ask us to define art in commercial design, but displays the powerful combination of art with design. The cultural impact the cans have had on today’s cultural society, goes well beyond the painting. However the impact Warhol has made is seen in many places within the art and design culture, often represented by the youth culture. Perhaps one aspect that is coming into light is the idea of making impacts that are not entirely based on shocking an audience with the barrage of sex.
