BACKGROUND ON WARHOLS OBSESSION WITH SOUP CANS
In an interview for the Face magazine in London in 1985, David Yarritu asked Warhol about flowers that Warhol's mother made from tin cans. In his response, Warhol mentioned them as a reason for doing his first tin can paintings:
David Yarritu: I heard that your mother used to make these little tin flowers and sell them to help support you in the early days.
Andy Warhol: Oh God, yes, it's true, the tin flowers were made out of those fruit cans, that's the reason why I did my first tin-can paintings...You take a tin-can, the bigger the tin-can the better, like the family size ones that peach halves come in, and I think you cut them with scissors. It's very easy and you just make flowers out of them. My mother always had lots of cans around, including the soup cans. (FA50)
Although Muriel Latow's suggestion to Warhol that he paint a soup can may have spurred him into action, it was only natural that Warhol would choose an image to paint that he had been surrounded by in his youth. When the art critic G.R. Swenson asked him in 1963 why he painted soup cans, he replied, "I used to drink it, I used to have the same lunch every day, for twenty years
