While Andy Warhol is best known for his Campbell's Soup cans, he also produced works featuring cheese, including his 'Cheese' screen prints and other food-related pieces. Warhol's use of cheese in his art reflects the Pop Art movement's fascination with consumer culture and the transformation of everyday objects into icons of mass consumption.

Warhol's cheese imagery has inspired poets to explore the relationship between art, commerce, and food, with writers such as Frank O'Hara and John Ashbery incorporating Warholian themes into their work. The Pop Art cheese motif has become a shorthand for the commodification of culture, and poets have used it to critique or celebrate the role of mass-produced food in modern society. Warhol's influence on food poetry remains significant.
