America has the unforgettable photographs of Jack and Jackie Kennedy, Caroline and John-John in our national iconography, but even those among us who watched as they captured the world's imagination often forget how revolutionary a phenomenon the Kennedys were. Here was a young, dynamic First Family who invited everyone into teh White House and at least seemingly into their private lives - and in the process forever changed the art of political image-making and the culture of celebrity. The Kennedy Mystique combines arresting photography and perceptive analysis to tell the whole story of the love affair between the Kennedys and the camera, a far more complex and sophisticated relationship than we might suppose.
The Kennedy Mystique looks behind and beyond what first meets the eye, reminding us that JFK and Jackie both worked in the press, and quickly recognized television's power, and had an instinctive grasp of the media's visual impact and how to turn it to their advantage. The Kennedy Mystique puts the carefully crafted vision of Camelot in context of early-1960s culture and history to show how Jack and Jackie turned photography, celebrity, and media savvy into a potent political tool - and left a visual legacy of irresistible and lasting appeal.
