In the 1950s, US culture saw a heightened interest in acquiring material goods. This new focus on material possessions provided fertile ground for American artists like Andy Warhol to explore themes related to mass production and advertising. His work blurred the lines between high art and everyday objects.

One of Warhol’s most famous works is “Campbell’s Soup Cans,” which consists of 32 canvases, each featuring a different flavor of Campbell’s soup. This artwork showcases his fascination with consumer products and serves as a commentary on American society at that time – how mass-produced goods were becoming increasingly prevalent in everyday life.
