Story / Additional InfoJackie I was created by Andy Warhol at the inception of his power and influence on the art world. A most desirable image of Jacqueline Kennedy smiling moments before her husband, President John F. Kennedy’s tragic assassination, Jackie I utilizes a LIFE magazine photograph as source material, exemplifying the artist's re-purposing well-known imagery as artistic subject matter. Further signifying his intent to set himself apart, Warhol is quoted as saying “…I turned towards a rubber stamp signature because I wanted to get away from style. I feel an artist’s signature is part of style”*. How ironic that Andy Warhol has been lionized as such an icon of 20th Century art, pop culture and STYLE.
