MANFRED LINUS KREINER (1926–2005)

Title: John F. Kennedy & Dean Rusk — Awaiting the Arrival of Konrad Adenauer at the White House, 1962

DESCRIPTION:
Magnificent photograph by photographer Manfred Linus Kreiner in Washington, D.C., on November 14, 1962, during the State Visit of Chancellor Konrad Adenauer of the Federal Republic of Germany to President John F. Kennedy.

The image shows John F. Kennedy exchanging with his Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, under the portico of the White House, as the two men await the arrival of the German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer for the official welcoming ceremony.

Kennedy, arms crossed, appears concentrated in conversation with Dean Rusk, while several members of the presidential entourage stand in the background. The scene offers a spontaneous glimpse of the American president in the moments preceding an important diplomatic meeting.

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