I hope if I could paint that well
I could think of something more interesting to paint than a jar of pasta sauce

I'm struggling
what's the impossible detail about the pasta jar? Am I going to kick myself?

The reflection is pretty cool; I suppose it is taking the Warhol soup can to the next level.

the Warhol stuff had a more obvious transformative quality along with the celebration of consumerism
although maybe this does too (the text says they are quite large) and it's clearer when you see the canvas rather than a smallish jpeg

Are you trying to make me feel bad because I have a small jpeg?
Heartless!

not as such. Warhol churned them out, it was less about the image, more that he was making it.
Pop-art subjects will continue to have a relevance to fine art, but less of an impact. This is kind of hyperrealism, (though probably just photorealism) I believe which is more focused on taking subject matter from a photograph, sometimes dealing with it in a photorealistic manner, sometimes focusing on one singular element and sometimes being so detailed so that if the photo's shit then so will be the image.
More or less.

I prefer the surreal twist Dali gave his paintings etc.

I like him, but upon reading about him, I find he's a bit of a cunt.
Brilliant painter and skilled draughtsman though.
