Original Campbell's Soup Cans Print by Andy Warhol
Campbell’s Soup Cans II: Tomato-Beef Noodle O’s by Andy Warhol is a print from the Campbell’s Soup Cans II portfolio. Warhol published this series one year after Cambpell’s Soup I, and seven years after his original 32 Campbell’s Soups. It is one of ten prints included in Warhol’s 1969 portfolio, each containing different flavors and names. Warhol’s signature pop-art style soup cans took the art world by storm, with his revolutionary design techniques and conceptual depth.
Not only did this new series contain a different array of flavors, but the labels also have additional illustrations. This new collection of soup can prints has the same design Americans know and love, but with the bonus of new graphics. In place of the traditional Campbell’s golden seal, the front of the can shows unique designs for each flavor. This particular print shows “Tomato-Beef Noodle O’s” written in a funky red and yellow font. This mundane, yet fun design of these soup can prints fit well into Warhol’s already existing portfolios, marking a development from his original soup can paintings.
