The artist says about this work, ''Zapruder' (1967) is the first of a group of paintings, watercolours and lithographs of the same title and similar composition. Sometime in 1966 or '67 Life magazine published the frame by frame stills of the 8 mm film Abraham Zapruder made in Dallas on November 22, 1963, which captured the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. I had been making paintings involving a geometric division of the canvas using various grid systems, based usually on found objects such as postcards showing more than one image. I was struck by the images in Life magazine, and their emotional content. I remembered the moment when I first heard of the tragic event of November 1963, and I had been an admirer of JFK since the 1960 election.
