Jacqueline Kennedy II (Jackie II), from 11 Pop Artists, Volume II

A striking example of Warhol's iconic Pop Art aesthetic, this screenprint transforms a photograph of Jacqueline Kennedy into a bold, flattened image using vivid, commercial colors. Created as part of the *11 Pop Artists, Volume II* portfolio, the work captures Jackie in the immediate aftermath of President Kennedy's assassination, elevating a moment of public grief into a repeated cultural symbol. Warhol's signature silkscreen technique reduces the former First Lady's image to stark contrasts and graphic simplicity, blurring the line between celebrity, tragedy, and mass media imagery.
