Dear Sir Hank, This was a tribute to the legendary pop-artist Andy Warhol who hailed from Pittburg. Remember those psychedelic multi-coloured soup cans?
The whole Warhol focus was on 'mass media' a term no one had thought about before the 1960's. It came along with color TV. Andy just represented the social condition of the time. It wasn't beautiful, it was life. It was the first time regular people considered advertising influencing their spending, (Andy the muse). Campbell's soup was eye opening back in the day. Thanks for sharing this, Ninotaziz.
It is strange how Andy Warhol's mind worked. He opened our eyes to the fact that it was no longer the age of 'Victorian' houses, Impressionist paintings and grand formal dinners.
and he did...i bet you could find quite a bit of writing inspiration at the grocery as well...have really enjoyed your book!
ReplyDeleteThanks Brian. I hardly have time for groceries, but I can manage to do a BBQ pretty well once in a blue moon.
DeleteFunny where the ol' muse will pop up! ;)
ReplyDeleteFunny indeed. But for Warhol, it was highly profitable and out of this world!
DeleteNinot Ma'am,
ReplyDeletePretty long way for a can of soup!
Hank

Inspiration waits round every corner - wait a minute- tins are round? LOL
ReplyDeleteYes they are! Thanks for the smile!
DeleteI read that as 'sure fire nurse', not muse! LOL :) Same thing, maybe...
ReplyDeleteI agree the nurse might have been better. But looking at the outcome, the nurse might not have liked it!
Delete....and it is a delicious muse indeed!....Love this Ninot!! :-)
ReplyDeleteI love Campbell Soup! Said it once and I will continue saying it again. Hi Carrie!
DeleteOh yeah...he did...
ReplyDeleteHe was unique, that is for sure....
DeleteAnd people bought it--that's what gets me. But, hey, there is beauty all around!
ReplyDeleteHhmm hhmm!

DeleteI still love formal banquets and paintings from the past.
