Since Campbell’s soup cans have been featured extensively in art by Warhol and follow-ups, it’s payback time and to promote art appreciation, Campbell should reproduce paintings on its soup can labels. For example renderings of food in art or fruit and vegetable still lifes could be featured with small
arrows pointing to the ingredients. Or why not Leonardo’s Last Supper on a can of kosher Bean with Ham and Bacon soup?
Knock yourself out.

Who owns the copyright on great works of art ? |
|

And I don't think Damien Hirst's stuffed-sheep-in-formaldehyde would do much for any food product. |
|
| |
I prefer simple, distinctive, consistant labelling that one can spot from a distance each time the wretched supermarket decides to re-arrange all its shelves. |
|
| |
I'd love this on the back of cereal boxes. |
|
| |
Bliss, you've gotta get out more. You too, Waugs. |
|
| |
Yeah, probably so. I do that too. I just like the names of things. Polysorbate-60, fatty acid esters, disodium edta, and of course, my all-time favorite, butylated hydroxtoluene. (More things should be butylated, I think.) |
|

Waugsqueke: If you want to really scare yourself, take a close look at some of the stuff they put in women's hair-care (!) products like perms and setting lotions .... Low molecular weight polyalkylene glycols, polyols, chlorinated aryl compounds, phosphorylated esters, the list goes on and on. Stuff that I'd expect in a hydraulic oil or a brake fluid ...... |
|
| |
Pretty much the same thing, aren't they? |
|
| |
Those things aren't as interesting, though. I prefer the stuff we eat. Care for a stick of xanthan gum? (Which is what they chew in Piers Anthony novels, right?) |
|
| |
Bummer, when I saw 'canned art', I thought it might be "Last Supper in a Spray Can". Would give a nice retro feel to tagging. |
|
| |
Sacharine in the morning, Aspartame in the evening, Sorbitol at suppertime. Be my Xanthan gum, and I'll chew you all the time. |

[8th of 7] I was under the impression that technically pre-1900 great works of art are public domain copyright-wise, even with the new copyright extension laws in place <grin>. |
