All of the paintings were painted on white canvas and displayed in rows as if, “resting on a shelf like groceries in a store” (MoMA). Each piece is nearly identical to the first with the main difference being that each name of the soup’s flavor is different, two specific soup cans with a ribbon across the seal stating, “NEW, GREAT AS A SAUCE, TOO”, and another with the words “Old-fashioned” above

Andy Warhol created a silkscreen canvas in 1964 of a Campbell’s condensed tomato soup can. He uses the same fonts, colors, and sizes that have caught people’s eyes when they shop.
