Item Description
Shooting for Newsweek, David Hume Kennerly captures the exhaustion that stalks presidential election campaigns by focusing on the candidate’s wife. On the campaign bus during Bill Clinton’s 1996 bid for a second term, Hillary Rodham Clinton sits with heavy eyelids, tired shoulders and chin in hand.
“Hillary definitely has the look of someone who has heard that story a few times,” Kennerly said.
The long, hard work paid off. Clinton handily won over his Republican opponent, Bob Dole, carrying 31 states. And Gary Locke – Clinton’s conversation partner just off to the side of this photo – won his campaign that year for governor of Washington State. He became the nation’s first Chinese-American governor.
All these years later, the Clintons remain two of the most renowned political figures in America – possibly the world. News accounts follow the global travels of Hillary Clinton, now U.S. Secretary of State. And the 2012 Democratic Convention saved some of its most rousing applause for Bill Clinton when he nominated Barack Obama as the party’s presidential candidate.
Item Special Note
This framed photo is signed and numbered by Kennerly. It is a 16" by 20" archival pigment print on Hahnemühle Fine Art Baryta paper.
