Portrait of a family |
|
Avedon Richard
2007 |
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 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.
During his lifetime, Richard Avedon donated more than 200 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 75 images
for this book, making these stunning photographs available for view for
the first time. |

Torn Lace Curtain
- Life with the Kennedys |
|
Saunders Frank
1982 |
Frank Saunders
was hired to be Joe Kennedy's personal chauffeur - but his real job was
much, much more...
Someone had to ward off the press and the curious public. Celebrity guests
often needed a physical escort from the house. The frayed nerves of the
Senators' wives had to be calmed. The grandchildren needed babysitting. Mr
Kennedy needed physical therapy, Rose Kennedy needed a scapegoat. The
whole family needed a friend.
As that friend, Frank Saunders stood by the Kennedy family in the darkest
hours of the tragedy-filled sixties - a decade that witnessed the
assassinations of John and Robert, Ted's airplane crash, Chappaquiddick,
and finally the death of the man who had hired him, Joe Kennedy.
From his nine years' experience as Mr Kennedy's "chauffeur", Frank
Saunders has given us a sometimes tender, sometimes bittersweet, always
poignant glimpse of the "lace curtain" Irish family that became America's
royalty. |
