I think this is a fine example of imitationalism. Andy

was born during the great depression. Perhaps he

drew this soup can as a symbol of nourishment. He was mostly

a pop art artist. He was the leading artist in the Pop art

movement. Before he was famous, he was a fashion

illustrator. I love how this painting is on silkscreen

because painting on silkscreen is hard. Color is one of the

amazing features in this painting because the color is strong and

solid.
