Presidential Retrospective Exhibit
From the iconographic to the unexpected, sixty-seven
photographs capturing the U.S. presidents from Franklin D. Roosevelt
to George W. Bush have been assembled in an exhibit that will
be featured at presidential debate sites in the coming weeks.
“The Presidential Image: 60 Years
of the Best of White House Photography” showcases presidential
images from the archives of the Missouri
School of Journalism's Pictures
of the Year International competition, one of the world’s
largest and most highly respected photojournalism contests. Famous
photographs such as young John F. Kennedy Jr. saluting his father’s
casket are contrasted with seldom seen and often revealing images
of the U.S. president, the most photographed human being in the
world.
“It is a wonderful set of pictures
and a great stimulus and backdrop for discussions about our history,
the political process and how we remember these world leaders,”
said David Rees, director of Pictures of the Year International.
Produced by the School of Journalism and
the University of Miami School of Communication, “The Presidential
Image” is being exhibited at the first two 2004 presidential
debate venues:
- University of Miami, Whitten University
Center (lower lounge) — Sept. 20 to Oct. 1.
- Washington University, St. Louis, John
M. Olin Library (main lobby) — Sept. 24 to Oct. 11.
“The Presidential Image”
was designed by David Griffin, design director for U.S. News &
World Report and a 2004 POYi judge. Other corporate sponsors include
MSNBC, Fuji Film and National Geographic, which printed the exhibit.
Founded in 1944, Pictures of the Year International
serves as an educational medium through its seminars, exhibits,
books, online presence and work with university students. Its
rich visual archive contains more than 34,000 of the world’s
great photographs of the past six decades.
