Andy Warhol - Sixteen Jackies (1964)

 Sixteen Jackies powerfully demonstrates Warhol's unique ability to appropriate and manipulate familiar images to examine larger cultural flows and moments as well as the surprising power that these moments That moment can hold for decades to come. Beginning at the height of the artist's groundbreaking career, Sixteen Jackies combines two of Warhol's most compelling themes: the dark tragedy of death and celebrity immortality. With Jackie's paintings, Warhol first created a number of small panels that he could later combine into larger works. Against a blue, white, and yellow background, Warhol projects eight source images that follow Jackie from her arrival at Dallas Love Field, through the motorcade, to administering the oath to new President Johnson and finally to the funeral in Washington, DC.
