This paper compares and contrasts Andy Warhol's "100 Cans" (1962) with Mark Rothco's "Untitled 1953" by a preset format assigned in the class. The outcome is that these two paintings have very little in common except for their scale, beyond being approachable to most individuals if those audiences are ready to understand the pieces. Warhol's mass appeal has become a cultural cliché over the fifty years since "100 Cans" but this was not always the case; in fact when Warhol painted the piece, advertising for national brands was at a vulnerable low. Rothko on the other hand, although many disparage abstract expressionism as enigmatic, actually intended to make art that was accessible to all regardless of language or nationality. This is ironic because Rothko ended up getting co-opted into the modernist elite mainstream even though abstract expressionism was considered by most unacessible and avant-garde.
