WEEK 5: STUDIO 1 LECTURE
In this week’s lecture Andy discussed ‘food as a symbol’. He commented that “you choose the food to put in your paintings based on symbology”. In the 60′s it was considered a ‘novelty’ to read label descriptions within art; Andy Warhol defied this concept in his Campbell’s Soup painting. He took a ‘basic food staple’ and created it into art. I love that Andy was able to juxtapose that there is just as much beauty and importance in an ordinary soup can as there is in a table full of fruit.
