Jackie Kennedy (1929-94), born Jacqueline Lee Bouvier, later Jackie Onassis, worked as a photographer before marrying ambitious Democratic politician JFK in 1953. She became the nation’s most celebrated First Lady when Kennedy was elected US president in 1961. On November 21 1963 she was with Kennedy in an open car crossing Dealey Plaza in Dallas when the shots were fired that changed America’s sense of itself, breeding paranoia and countless conspiracy theories.
Historians have chipped away at the Kennedy myth – he was “the most overrated president of the century”, according to one – but at his death he was aligning himself with popular movements for change in American society, proposing a civil rights bill just months before he was murdered.
His funeral at Arlington National Cemetery was watched by millions on television.

Pure Evil (British, 1968), a.k.a. Charles Uzzell Edwards, grew up in South Wales and was by his own account, the only new romantic in the village.
Pure Evil is perhaps the most blue-blooded urban artist working today with a family tree which allegedly includes a number of saints and members of various European royal dynasties.
He spent his teenage years customising his own clothes and experimenting with eyeliner. This love of urban street style led him to do fashion degree in London where he earned a bit of a reputation as a troublemaker.
Skateboarding was another of his loves and after the Poll Tax Riots in Trafalgar Square, he decided to leave Thatcherite London for a two week trip to California, which ended up being a 10-year stay in San Francisco.
He first discovered street art during a decade spent in California, where he designed for influential streetwear clothing company Anarchic Adjustment, and willingly subjected himself to the influence of West Coast Graffiti artists. Upon his return to London he started painting (his now trademark) weird fanged PURE EVIL bunny rabbits everywhere.
Pure Evil has a keen interest in exploring the darker side of the wreckage of Utopian dreams and the myth of the Apocalypse, a belief in the life-changing event that brings history with all its conflicts to an end.
Pure Evil has exhibited worldwide in China, Russia, Mongolia, Brazil, USA and all over Europe.
He also produces a monthly radio show and regularly gives workshops and participates in lectures about street art.
