Today marks the announcement of my new blog, debuting 1/1/11:
"SOUP FOR A YEAR"

Everyday for one year, I will eat a can of Campbell's soup for one of my daily meals to not only gain sustenance and nourishment, but to also honor the late, great Andy Warhol, my favorite artist. I will provide a photo and commentary and some fun facts about Andy Warhol throughout the year.

Warhol's Campbell's Soup Can paintings are key works of the 1960s Pop Art movement, a time when many artists made work derived from popular culture. Warhol's soup cans raise the simply popular or everyday to the status of art. Campbell's and its red and white label date from the late nineteenth century, and became more and more familiar in the twentieth, particularly with the increase in mass production and advertising after World War II. Warhol himself said, "Pop art is about liking things," and claimed that he ate Campbell's soup every day for 20 years. For him, it was the quintessential American product: he marveled that the soup always tasted the same, whether consumed by prince or pauper.

So...please enjoy, as I will: Soup For A Year.
