When I think of popular culture, the first person I think of is Andy Warhol followed by the image of the Cambell's Soup Can made famous by the talented artist. Today would have been his 86th birthday.
I am particularly fascinated at the profound meaning behind the Cambell's Soup can; mass production for mass consumption, an assembly-line concept created by Henry Ford. Was Warhol's iconic painting in support of capitalism or in opposition to it? I'd like to think the latter. Regardless, Happy Birthday Mr. Warhol.
