| Sumario: | The assassination of John F. Kennedy shocked the world and focused attention to the 8mm footage shot by Abraham Zapruder. The event fueled conspiracy theories and repeated viewings of Zapruder's film as seemingly everyone searched for a motive and conclusive proof of a single gunman. In his preface to this book, the author discusses public fascination with celebrity deaths and assassination-related media - from documentaries to scholarly books to the scandalous video game JFK Reloaded - to show that the assassination continues to inspire writers, artists, and filmmakers. This book examines the seminal works of art associated with the assassination, including Andy Warhol's silk screens, the underground films of Bruce Conner, and provocative Hollywood films like The Parallax View and JFK. The author's investigation places assassination art and images within a historical context - one that helps us understand what the assassination has meant to American culture. |
