“Pictures have to do with heart and mind and eye and they have to communicate and as long as they do that it’s valid”
~ Elliott Erwitt
One of the most heart breaking images in the history of photography. It’s like the denouement of a Greek tragedy. Camelot has crumpled and America has once again lost its innocence, and its dream.
Elliott with his keen eye tells the story of this historical moment in a single frame. A story of grief and unbelievable sorrow not just for the subject in the image but for all of us, he sees through Jackie’s veil and reveals this shared pain.
