“Nov. 22, 1963” is a powerful portrait of John F. Kennedy, created as part of my Assassinated Presidents series. This emotionally charged work reflects the gravity of JFK’s assassination in Dallas and the enduring impact of his legacy as the 35th President of the United States.
Rendered in black and white with a stark abstract background, the painting captures the late president’s piercing gaze, an expression of intellect, charisma, and the burden of history. My signature drips and polka dots add striking visual texture, while a subtle spot varnish reveals the date of the assassination, visible only at certain angles. The piece balances realism with abstraction, offering viewers a chance to reflect on a defining moment in American history.
