Manfred Linus Kreiner - Jacqueline Kennedy — Tribune présidentielle, 1961

MANFRED LINUS KREINER (1926–2005)

Title: Jacqueline Kennedy — Presidential Tribune, John F. Kennedy Inauguration, 1961

DESCRIPTION:
Magnificent photograph taken by Manfred Linus Kreiner in Washington, D.C., on January 20, 1961, during the inaugural parade celebrating John F. Kennedy's swearing-in as the 35th President of the United States.

The image captures Jacqueline Kennedy from the presidential podium, in a moment of great spontaneity. Slightly turned to the left, she appears smiling and radiant, while her gaze is directed toward John F. Kennedy, present off-camera.

Dressed in her elegant light coat with a fur collar and wearing her famous pillbox hat, Jacqueline Kennedy already embodies the elegance that would help make her one of the most iconic figures of her era.

Through its close framing and the delicacy of the moment captured, Manfred Kreiner offers a particularly elegant and human image of Jacqueline Kennedy at the very beginning of her role as First Lady.

This photograph belongs to the The Kennedy Years collection by Manfred Linus Kreiner, rediscovered from the original negatives kept in the photographer's estate archives.
