Jacques Lowe Livres

As a young photographer, Jacques Lowe was assigned to photograph and up-and-coming Washington attorney named Robert Kennedy. Mr. Lowe's work impressed the Kennedy family so much that Joseph Kennedy asked that his other son, then U.S. Senator John F. Kennedy, be photographed as well. From that favor granted sprung a very close and personal relationship. As a result, Lowe took over 40,000 photos, including the White House years.•198 exquisite black and white photographs, hand selected by Lowe•Photographs accompanied by insightful commentary from the photographer

Fifty years after his assassination on 22 November 1963, John F. Kennedy is still a towering figure in the history of our times and across the world. Jacques Lowe was the official photographer of JFK's campaign for the presidency as well as his personal photographer following his election in 1960. Over 250 images capture life with this compelling politician - on the campaign trail, at home with Jackie and daughter Caroline, politicking behind the scenes at the convention, at work in the White House, as a leader on the world stage, and his funeral at Arlington National Cemetery, mourned by millions around the world. Throughout, the photographs are complemented by Lowe's personal record of his friendship with the whole Kennedy family and his years at the heart of American politics. They provide a unique record of one of the most enduringly fascinating politicians of the modern era.

Nur 1.036 Tage war John F. Kennedy als Präsident der USA im Amt. Doch kaum ein Politiker des 20. Jahrhunderts zog die Menschen so in seinen Bann wie der charismatische Senator aus Massachusetts. Jacques Lowe kam John F. „Jack“ Kennedy und dem schillernden Kennedy-Clan nahe wie kein zweiter Fotojournalist. Er war der persönliche Fotograf des Präsidenten, begleitete ihn während seiner rasanten politischen Karriere – und wurde bald zu einem engen Freund der ganzen Familie. Diese Vertrautheit zeigt sich in den mehr als 250 Fotos dieses Buches: Ob mit der First Lady Jackie und Tochter Caroline zu Hause, zu Gast beim französischen Präsidenten Charles de Gaulle oder in JFKs Büro im Weißen Haus, Jacques Lowe und seine Kamera waren stets dabei. In Worten und Bildern erzählt er seine ganz persönliche Geschichte mit den Kennedys und gewährt so einen einzigartigen Einblick in das Leben dieser glanzvollen Familie.
