Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. REMRFK_180609_07.JPG: The following pictures are from the page 2018_DC_SIPG_RFK DC -- Donald W. Reynolds Center (NPG) -- Exhibit: Remembering Robert F. Kennedy (2 photos from 2018)
  Robert F. Kennedy, 1925-1968 Time magazine's editors commissioned Roy Lichtenstein to create this cover portrait of Senator Robert Kennedy for its May 24, 1968, edition. It was issued in the midst of a turbulent presidential primary season when Kennedy was challenging President Lyndon Johnson for the Democratic Party's nomination. Lichtenstein's Pop Art style and bright colors create a sense of energy as it captures Kennedy's image in the midst of a campaign speech. Kennedy responded in a bemused telegram: "I thought your cover picture was really marvelous, but I don't have red spots all over my face." On June 5, 1968, just a few weeks after publication of the issue, Kennedy was assassinated while campaigning in Los Angeles. Time commissioned another cover from Lichtenstein to highlight the issue of gun control. A gun pointed at the viewer, though drawn in the same cartoon-like style as the Kennedy portrait, seemed haunting. Roy Lichtenstein, 1989, after 1968 original
2. ANTHON_180508_05.JPG: The following pictures are from the page 2018_DC_SIPG_Anthony DC -- Donald W. Reynolds Center (NPG) -- Exhibit: Recognize: Marc Anthony (3 photos from 2018)
  Marc Anthony, born 1968 Born New York City Combining Latin rhythms, ballads, and mainstream pop music, Marc Anthony is one of today's most significant crossover artists, selling more than twelve million albums worldwide. This photograph shows the singer, who is of Puerto Rican heritage, just as he hit his stride with his first salsa records, between 1993 and 1997. These established him as one of the all-time top-selling artists in the genre. The viewer looks at the singer, with his arms extended and head toward the sky, in a posture that conveys his natural and enduring stage presence. Anthony's eponymous English album from 2000 went triple-platinum, heralding the beginning of a Latin pop explosion in the United States. Twenty years later, his success is undiminished; he won ten awards at the 2014 Billboard Latin Music Awards, including Hot Latin Song for his life-affirming "Vivir mi vida." ADAL, c 1993
3. CELDIZ_171026_08.JPG: The following pictures are from the page 2017_DC_SIPG_Gillespie DC -- Donald W. Reynolds Center (NPG) -- Exhibit: Celebrate: Dizzie Gillespie (3 photos from 2017)
  Dizzy Gillespie 1917-1993 October 21, 2017, marks the one-hundredth anniversary of jazz trumpeter, composer, and bandleader Dizzy Gillespie's birth. ... Jazz trumpeter, composer, and bandleader Dizzy Gillespie first gained fame in the early 1940s, but he had such talent and staying power that he was still a dynamic presence on the music scene five decades later. Gillespie was only twenty-two when he joined Cab Calloway's legendary big band in 1939, yet the maturity of his playing was already undeniable. His solos enlivened many of Calloway's recordings, and Gillespie's innovative arrangements laid the groundwork for his future experiments in rhythm and composition. After meeting saxophonist Charlie Parker in Kansas City in 1940, Gillespie joined Parker, pianist Thelonious Monk, and other young musicians in freewheeling jam sessions that spawned the new, energetic form of jazz known as bebop. Emerging rapidly as one of bebop's greatest practitioners, Gillespie also played a pivotal role in introducing Afro-Cuban jazz to worldwide audiences. He toured extensively and was hailed as modern jazz's most ebullient ambassador. Herman Leonard, 1948 (printed 1998)

5. CELJFK_170523_07.JPG: The following pictures are from the page 2017_DC_SIPG_CelebrateJFK DC -- Donald W. Reynolds Center (NPG) -- Exhibit: Celebrate: John F. Kennedy (6 photos from 2017)
  John F. Kennedy, 1917-1963 Thirty-fifth president of the United States On Inauguration Day 1961, John F. Kennedy became the youngest president -- and the first Roman Catholic -- ever elected to the presidency. His address to the nation, delivered while wearing a morning coat on a frigid day, was eloquent, authoritative, and high-minded. It was indicative of the man himself and ushered in a new era of vigorous leadership. The country was entranced by his charisma, his stylish wife, Jackie, and their two small children -- the first young family to live in the White House since Theodore Roosevelt sixty years before. Kennedy's agenda promised new opportunities in an age of accelerating challenges. Yet his initiatives and reforms for containing the Cold War, increasing civil rights, and exploring space never came to fruition during his presidency, which was curtailed by an assassin's bullet. Still, his legacy lived on in such programs as the Peace Corps and space exploration when, in 1969, Americans walked on the moon. Shirley Seltzer Cooper, 1961

7. SIPGEF_170415_03.JPG: The following pictures are from the page 2017_DC_SIPG_Ella DC -- Donald W. Reynolds Center (NPG) -- Exhibit: Celebrate: Ella Fitzgerald (2 photos from 2017)
  Ella Fitzgerald 1917-1996 (with Ray Brown, Dizzy Gillespie, and Milt Jackson) Hailed as the "First Lady of Song," Fitzgerald topped DownBeat magazine's annual readers' poll as the best female vocalist for seventeen consecutive years (1953–70). She was just a teenager when her victory in an amateur contest at Harlem's famed Apollo Theater led to the opportunity to sing with Chick Webb's orchestra in 1935. Fitzgerald soon secured her standing as a leading swing-era performer and scored a major hit with "A-Tisket, A-Tasket" (1938). After Webb's death in 1939, she led his orchestra for three years before launching a highly successful solo career. With a supple voice that spanned three octaves, as well as an immense talent for improvisational "scat" singing, Fitzgerald built a wide-ranging repertoire encompassing jazz and popular song. Her long and fruitful association with jazz impresario Norman Granz resulted in the legendary series of "songbook" recordings that marked Fitzgerald as one of the greatest interpreters of American popular music. William Paul Gottlieb, c 1947 (printed later)
8. SIPGBD_161017_05.JPG: The following pictures are from the page 2016_DC_SIPG_Dylan DC -- Donald W. Reynolds Center (NPG) -- Exhibit: Celebrate: Bob Dylan (2 photos from 2016)
  Bob Dylan, born 1941 The Nobel Prize Committee broke with precedent -- and recognized those who make it new -- by awarding the 2016 Nobel Prize for Literature to Bob Dylan. The prize will amaze, and perhaps anger, some. It will delight many. Dylan's career has been a constant series of surprises, reversals, and new directions, from his roots as a New York "folkie," channeling Woody Guthrie, to his fascination with the Old Testament. Most famously, in 1965 he turned everything upside down by marrying his deeply rooted poetic lyrics to the sonic power of the electric guitar. The committee cited Dylan "for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition." That tradition itself originated deep in the past, with the medieval troubadours who fused word and music in their encounters with their life and times; honoring Dylan, America's troubadour, takes us full circle to poetry's origins. John Cohen, 1962

  Gregory Peck, 1916-2003 Perhaps best known for his Oscar-winning role as Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird (1962), Gregory Peck rose to Hollywood stardom in the 1940s. From the outset, Peck gravitated towards roles demonstrating virtues of quiet strength, resolve, and tolerance. By the end of his career, he had earned five Academy Award nominations for his performances, including his work in The Keys of the Kingdom (1944), The Yearling (1946), Gentleman's Agreement (1947), Twelve O' Clock High (1949), and To Kill a Mockingbird. Outside of Hollywood, Peck advocated for gun control and protested the Vietnam War. His many honors include the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Screen Actors Guild Lifetime Achievement Award, the AFI Life Achievement Award, and the National Medal of Arts. Everett Raymond Kinstler, 1991
