These are clear examples of Pop Art.
"Pop Art challenged tradition by asserting that an artist's use of the mass-produced visual commodities of popular culture is contiguous with the perspective of fine art. Pop removes the material from its context and isolates the object, or combines it with other objects, for contemplation. The concept of pop art refers not as much to the art itself as to the attitudes that led to it."
In the first example we can see how these common objects have been "misplaced" creating therefore a surrealistic scene.
The tomato pulp can is one of the objects chosen by Warhol for it to be multiplied and represented in many colors giving in that way the idea of repetition and mass production.
