After the Kennedy family's photo session for Harper’s Bazaar, Avedon took the family outside for a second one for LOOK magazine! It must have be hectic in both sessions as Jackie was changing clothes, there were two small children, and the soon-to-be-inaugurated JFK was dictating messages, receiving reports about developments in Cuba, and thinking about who to place in his Cabinet! Between the two photo sessions, the only photograph of the entire family of four is the cover. ??????
The Harper’s Bazaar spread takes us across six images that go from private to public, from father to paternal, from domestic to regal. If we compare the LOOK cover with the interior the Harper’s Bazaar spread, there are quite a number of differences!
Let’s talk color versus black and white. The color cover is meant as an attract to get someone to pick up the magazine, but it also makes the Kennedys human and fleshy. The black and white, with controlled light, makes the figures more sculptural and the people are composed in ways that lead us to a particular feeling in each photograph. ??????
Have you seen a similar pose to the cover? Maybe in your own family albums? So does the banality of the composition make them seem less regal and maybe more like the family next door?

But that’s not the end of the story. More tomorrow! –Shannon, photography curator
