For this painting of Caroline Kennedy in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda, she deliberately changed a key historical detail by eliminating Jacqueline Kennedy from the image. In addition, as she explained in her 2015 oral history, "Caroline is not faded out like I did on the other paintings because she is not a memory. She's alive and still a part of our world at this time. This is her father's casket. Her little hand, gloved hand, holding onto the railing, her little white socks... this is very much something that I saw growing up Catholic. So, the rest of it is faded out because he is gone." -- Stephen Fagin, Curator This is one of three paintings in the "Fading Memories" series that was selected for display at the Arkansas Governor's Mansion in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination in 2013. -- Stephen Fagin, Curator
