" Flash-November 22. 1963 The Flash Portfolio ", is a series of eleven screen prints by Andy Warhol. The works draw from mass-media images of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Warhol assembled them in a book with bold colors and clipped headlines. He had been fascinated by The Kennedy Family for years. Two years earlier, he created portraits of Jacqueline Kennedy.
