Cambell’s Soup Can on a shopping Bag : It can be viewed as a piece that not only has a soup can on it, but could have many soup cans in it, if you were to go shopping of course, the usual purpose of a shopping bag.
Package design has to be good to appeal to the consumer, but the repeated images of these designs in Warhol's art tell us something about the society we live in day after day. Our culture is one of the bombardment of repeated images, from mass produced goods in a factory, repetitive tasks of the jobs in those factories, and repeated product images through advertising in all kinds of media.
