Painter, Photographer and Decorator

By Steve Brawley

There must be countless pieces of artwork and sketches made by Jackie Kennedy Onassis over the years. Hopefully the JFK Library has many of them. There are several well documented pieces of her artwork. Here is a sampling:

-1960: Campaign Sketches of JFK, Painting of Hyannisport

-1961-63: Paintings of White House, Art for National Performing Arts Center (Kennedy Center) Christmas Cards. Also designed WH Presidential Christmas Cards.

-1974: Publishes One Special Summer with Sister Lee Featuring Jackie Artwork

She was also an avid photographer. It would be great to document her work in this arena too. Of course her decorating skills are history.
