	Collier Peter & Horowitz David 1984	The Kennedys are the most photographed, written about, admired, hated and controversial family in American history.

The Kennedys - Portrait of a family
	Avedon Richard 2007	In the early 1960s, Richard Avedon was commissioned by "Harper's bazaar" to create "Observations", a column that consisted of a series of nine photographic essays. The subject of the first essay was John F.Kennedy and his family, who sat for formal black-and-white portraits just three weeks prior to Kennedy's presidential inauguration. Six images appeared in the magazine's February 1961 issue. That same day, Avedon created more informal color portraits of Kennedy and his family at the Kennedy compound in Palm Beach. During his lifetime, Richard Avedon donated more than 200 images to the Smithsonian Institution, including all of the photographs of the Kennedy family sitting for "Harper's Bazaar". Smithsonian curator Shannon Thomas Perich has culled more than 75 images for this book, making these stunning photographs available for view for the first time.
