Popularized pop art and created super stars
Before Warhol's daring screen prints of Campbell's soup artworks were mostly considered to have to be unique, hand painted pictures of important people or subjects. Warhol's Campbell's Soup cans caused much debate as many did not consider them to be art as Andy Warhol had not taken the original photo of the soup cans. They were also not one-of-a-kind and were therefore not thought of as unique enough to be an artwork. Many people disagreed with the idea that something as simple and insignificant as a soup can could be considered and art work. Most people painted things such as important people such as royalty. The soup cans were also screen printed which was not traditional and Warhol used very commercial techniques.
