Paper Summary:
The writer of this article examines how artist, Andy Warhol, uses art to form an example of Jean Baudrillard's theory of hyper reality. The writer discusses how Warhol's painting of the Campbell Soup cans supports Baudrillard's theory and provides a place where the "real" is more real than the original.From the Paper:
"This paper considers Andy Warhol's paintings of Campbell Soup cans, in the light of French intellectual Jean Baudrillard's concept of hyper reality. Baudrillard who does not consider himself an expert in art criticism nevertheless argues for Warhol as one of the most important postmodern figures, an artist whose work captured an essential essence of contemporary cultural reality, by using a copy of one of the most banal and ordinary products manufactured by that culture and holding it up for consideration as a work of art.
