Is Andy Warhol's campbells soup can a painting or photograph, or a photo thats meant to look like a painting?

Question

Im doing photography at A level and have chosen to study the work of Andy Warhol. However, I cant work out if the campbells soup can picture is a photo or a painting. Does any one know?

Answer 1

It was a painting.

Answer 2

The original Campbell Soup series (one canvas for each flavor) are paintings. He also used screen printing (serigraphy) in his work. When a photograph goes through the process of becoming a stencil it gains different visual qualities and opens up aesthetic possibilities (like the Marilyn Monroe series)

Answer 3

It's a painting. Painted the exact replica of the can label.

You can always take a picture of the can label. Faster than painting it. That's basically what Warhol did, except with paint.

Answer 4

A painting, Warhol tended to paint more than do any photography.

Answer 5

It's a painting. Have you ever checked out his painting of Marilyn Monroe? Trippy!
