Flash—November 22, 1963 1968

This print of John F. Kennedy was made by Andy Warhol, and it’s suffused with a deep purple hue. I’m picturing Warhol in his studio, silk-screening layer upon layer. You can almost feel the weight of that moment in history, can't you? November 22, 1963—the day Kennedy was assassinated. The purple lends a feeling of sadness and introspection, and the grainy texture makes it look like a TV screen frozen on that tragic image. It’s like Warhol is saying, “Here, look. This happened. Remember.” He’s turning a news photo into something deeply personal and resonant. Think about those vibrant colors and how he repeats images—it's all about how we consume media and remember events. Warhol made us think about how we see, remember, and feel. And that's a conversation that keeps evolving.
