Andy Warhol (1928-1987), Big Campbell's Soup Can 19¢, 1962

The focal point of this painting would be the red background on the word Campbell. To me, this is representation art. It is an outline on a flat surface. There's a little shading at the top of the can. My daughter says that if you stare at it for a while, it looks like a one-eared dog. The vantage point of this can is the yellow dot in the middle of the can. There seems to be neither a time or motion going on. It's more like an icon than a symbol to me. Anyone else would look at this as just a can of soup, but it's art.
