Large-scale photomosaic portrait mounted on acrylic titled JFK vs. Jackie, by artist Alex Guofeng Cao, 2010.
The portrait is a … more Large-scale photomosaic portrait mounted on acrylic titled JFK vs. Jackie, by artist Alex Guofeng Cao, 2010.
The portrait is a famous black and white photograph of First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, but each small pixel of the portrait consists of a tiny image of President John F. Kennedy. A small number of the tiny images are different, each one numerically representing an important date in Jacqueline Kennedy's life. Counting from the top left corner, the 1,956th pixel, is a picture of an angel, representing a child lost. The 1,957th pixel, the year her daughter Caroline was born, is a portrait of Caroline. The 1,999th pixel, the year her son John F. Kennedy Jr. died, is a portrait of her son. The artist uses the interplay between the large image and the tiny pixel images to create a dialogue about the person in the portrait and other people in her life, a story within a story. less
