16 Jackies is the piece of artwork that i had the most positive responds to. The reason that i think i liked this piece so much is because it is so simple and yet it get a point across and make people feel emotion when they see it. This piece is simple in the way that is just photos taken by the media repeated in a line and two of the lines are black and white and two of the lines are black and blue. The reason the this piece gets a point across is because it is pictures of Jackie Kennedy but they are pictures of her being a normal person not as someone that is in the media all the time. The reason the this piece is emotional for some people is because the pictures that are use of Jackie are form when her husband died.

To be honest,at first I didn't find it too appealing, but after reading your post I would have to agree with you. It is pretty emotionally charged and the simplicity is great. I realized that just because it does not awoke emotional response in me doesn't mean it isn't influential to lot of people who remember this event and people who have experienced this chapter of American history, a lot more intimately than me.
