Capturing Camelot: Stanley Tretick’s Iconic Images of the Kennedys
January 19, 2015 - March 25, 2015
FreeWhen John F. Kennedy was elected to the White House in November 1960, the American people embarked on a journey of 1,000 days into a mythical world that former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy would recall as Camelot. Photojournalist Stanley Tretick, who was given extensive access to the White House, captured images that evoked the youth, vigor and glamour of the Kennedy era. Photographs he took of the president relaxing with his children lent Kennedy an endearing credibility that greatly contributed to his popularity. Capturing Camelot reflects the magic of an era that continues to inspire affection and nostalgia. Copyright, Estate of Stanley Tretick LLC.
