Interpretaions At The Walker

The piece i chose from the Walker is Sixteen Teen Jackies by Andy Warhol. Warhal was infamous for silk screens which is how this pieces was done. It's shows four images of Jackie Kennedy, repeated four times. The 1st picture is when Jackie got off the plane, the day of her husband's death, The next is Lyndon B. Johnson's swearing in, Her at the capitol after the ordeal, And her smiling to the crowd in the limousine during the parade.

To me this shows one of our greatest 1st ladies' pure pain and sadness. These images of her were plastered all over magazines, On TV screens, in the papers, They're something this country will never for get, Exceptionally those who alive at that time. These pictures were something they saw everyday for weeks, completely burned into their minds. It's shows us the raw shock of Jackie's loss, Loosing her husband, Being sprayed this is blood, brains, and skull. The pictures of Jackies he chose really portrays his way with death. Any Worhol also loved the American stars and celebrities, And how mass media showed them, and their lives. i think on top of that, for people who know other facts about these images, it's even more sad and disturbing. In the second picture of Jackie that shows her still completely stunned during Johnson's swearing in, She's still wearing the dress from the parade. For those who watched the ceremony for Johnson on their TV screens when they did a close in on Jackie, they had 2 quickly back of the camera and change it because she still had all the blood and body manner on her dress. It really makes me feel sick and sad to see these pictures of her, And the last one makes is worse to see
