Richard Avedon’s 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 Perich’s 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.
