Andy Warhol
This is perhaps one of Andy Warhols most famous pieces of art. When he created it everyone in the world knew what Campbells Soup was and most people still do as they are still in supermarkets today. Warhol used silk screen printing for this piece. Strong colours and branding make this an iconic piece of art.
Andy Warhol was renowned for creating great art from celebrities faces, his most well known piece in this style is probably his work of Marilyn Munro. Again he used silk screen printing for this piece. This technique allowed him to change colours effortlessly and produce a lot of prints in a short space of time, meaning he could flood the market with his art work at a low cost. The colours in this piece work well together and he has given the image her iconic blonde hair, although it is lemon yellow here. This image is recognised, viewed and replicated all around the world.
Another of Andy Warhol's famous art works could be the one of the Beatles, shown below. The Beatles were a very iconic and admired symbol of their time, which would make me believe that he did use their images in some of his work. The reason I say that it is only a possiblity is because I can't say for sure, I googled it but don't believe everything you see on google!
There are many other Warhol pieces like this one as he liked to create images of famous people. I have come to adapt this style in a way for my own exploratory work.
