Warhol was born on August 6, 1928 and passed away February 22, 1987, he was an American painter, printmaker, and filmmaker who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art. He has his own museum known as "The Warhol" located in Pittsburgh, PA and also has the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, it was established in 1987 and its mission is to advance visual arts, by helping artists out with grants or whatever they may need. The Campbell's soup painting by Warhol is one of my favorite paintings because of its simplicity, I have seen this painting before and it always intrigues me. The painting is so simple and literally is a replica of a regular can of soup. It is funny how some people spend years looking for inspiration and Warhol simply copied a can of soup.
