This image of Jacqueline Kennedy is a single portrait of Jackie, and was based on a photograph that came from the December 6, 1963 edition of Life magazine. The magazine featured images from President John F. Kennedy’s assassination and funeral. Warhol used the images of Jacqueline Kennedy, who was iconic in her own right to create a number of different pieces. This piece is an example of Warhol’s early works where very little changes were made to the original photograph. The color palette is simply black and white, no color featured at all. This image shows a smiling Jackie, in her classic pillbox hat, sitting next to JFK prior to his death. The print was part of a portfolio entitled 11 Pop Artists I, and the other artists featured in the portfolio were Allan D’Arcangelo, Jim Dine, Allen Jones, Gerald Laing, Roy Lichtenstein, Tom Phillips, Mel Ramos, James Rosenquist, John Wesley and Tom Wesselmann.
