Van Gogh's 'Jackie O', Portrait of Jackie Kennedy, Limited Edition 20 of 30 Photograph

Van Gogh's 'Jackie O' Archival Ink on Cotton Rag Paper Prints are signed and numbered on front This is a limited edition of 30 prints at 24" x 20" © S. Brett Kaufman, '95 'Jackie Oh' by Kitty Kelly is what inspired me to do " Van Gogh's 'Jackie O' ". The iconic portrait of her getting off the plane on a campaign stop in Texas, is to me, filled with such hope; and yet, knowing what we all know now, one of profound sadness. Her famous pink Chanel suit has become a symbol of her husband's assassination and one of the lasting images of the 1960's. I felt Van Gogh's 'Starry Night' to be the perfect backdrop for this portrait. The original collage (sold), is made up of various Van Gogh paintings. After altering the color and size of the originals, I was able to paste them on top of the original portrait. For instance, the pink texture of the Chanel suit was originally a baby blue backdrop to one of Vincent's self portraits. My intention with Van Gog's 'Jackie O', was to make a portrait of the former first lady, that was both beautiful and haunting at the same time ... similar to her life's story. ----------------------------------- S.
