Richard Avedons photographs of John and Jacqueline Kennedy and their two children combine politics, style, public interest and photographic history to provide a compelling glimpse of two icons of American life. Shannon Perichs essay, which is accompanied by a wealth of archival photography of both Avedon and the Kennedys, provides background on the two sittings within a political and cultural context, and critically examines the work of one of the finest photographers of the 20th century.

Hardcover. Etat : Good. Etat de la jaquette : Good. First UK Edition. Jacket has light general wear plus minor bumping to top edge. No tears. Light foxing to half-title page only, otherwise internally clean. Binding tight. 128pp In the early 1960s, Richard Avedon was commissioned by Harper's Bazaar to create Observations, a column that consisted of a series of nine photographic essays. The subject of the first essay was John F. Kennedy and his young family, who sat for formal black-and-white portraits just three weeks prior to Kennedy's presidential inauguration. Six images appeared in the magazine's February 1961 issue. That same day, Avedon created more informal color portraits of Kennedy and his family at the Kennedy compound in Palm Beach. One of these images ran as the cover of LOOK magazine's February 28 issue, with photographs by Avedon inside. Just before the magazine hit the newsstands and was delivered to over 6.5 million people, a set of photographs, comprised mostly of the LOOK images, was released by the White House and appeared in newspapers across the country. During his lifetime, Richard Avedon donated more than two hundred images to the Smithsonian Institution, including all of the photographs of the Kennedy family sitting for Harper's Bazaar. Smithsonian curator Shannon Thomas Perich has culled more than seventy-five images from that donation for The Kennedys: Portrait of a Family, making these stunning photographs available for view for the first time. Perich's introductory essay accompanied by a wealth of archival photographs of both Avedon and the Kennedy familyprovides historical background on the two sittings within a political and cultural context and critically examines the work of one of the finest photographers of the twentieth century. A foreword by Robert Dallek, distinguished historian and author of the bet-selling An Unfinished Life: John F. Kennedy, 1917-1963, provides authoritative and compelling insight to one of the most fascinating presidents in American history. Size: 260mm x 295mm. Book. N° de réf. du vendeur 028146
