Author, Terrence E. Paupp comments on the specialness of RFK in the context of this art poster designed by Clyde Keller.
Terrence writes: "Connecting to the world, a myriad of hands reached back to Robert during his last few weeks in response to his energy and profound message. Robert was a living embodiment of his slain brother. He represents the resurrection of the promise that he and his brother embodied while in the White House. That restoration, after Dallas, took many forms: Civil Rights at home, Human Rights abroad and the end of Apartheid for all people. His message and charisma and his policies were understood as ending all of the cruel and artificial divisions allowing him to bring a process of healing between people."
"Clyde's graphic art print symbolizes a special man in a special era which cannot be duplicated. Radiance of his personality, his charisma and his message all combined into one cloth. This was a palpable radiance that could be seen, touched and felt."
"CONNECTING WITH RFK" offers a bold range of color, graphic realism... artfully capturing this important American politician. Makes a strong graphic impression. Suitable for immediate safe viewing (the print is shrink wrapped on foam core board) and ready for framing.

NEW FOR MARCH...
RFK NEW IMAGES
New for March 2010, we are offering a new Subject Category for my personal photographs of Bobby Kennedy.
Entitled, "RFK NEW IMAGES" these 1966-1968 photographs represent an exhaustive revisitation to my Kennedy Film Archive consisting of hundreds of Black and White and Color images. Featured this month are images from the Oregon Coast Archive including the rarely seen “BEACH BATHING WITH BOBBY” as well as many other supportive photographs from this historic trip.
Early 1966 Portraits are also included including a highly detailed and poignant black and white image entitled, “A CLEAR VISION”
Robert Kennedy "A CLEAR VISION"
This deliberative portrait captures Robert in a head on telephoto view as he prepares to speak at a political rally held inside the Old Labor Temple in Portland, Oregon. His clear vision for political reform is brought to the forefront in this dramatic, high key lit scene.
Author Terrence E. Puapp now contributes commentary for several photos in these new listings-- including these observations inspired from my detailed 1966 photo of Robert's shoes as shown below and now offered for the first time as a beautiful giclee print.
"THE WEAR OF THE CAMPAIGN"
Although this picture of RFK's footwear was taken in 1966, it serves to symbolize Kennedy's long walk and tireless campaign for social justice. In the four years following his brother's assassination, RFK never allowed a minute to be wasted. He sought to have his brother's legacy deepened and extended through his own ongoing legislative efforts for civil rights on behalf of excluded minorities in the US, as well as through his trips to Latin America and South Africa in order to highlight the problems of human rights abuses and social injustice. In reflecting on and reviewing all of these travels he embarked upon, we rediscover that his spirit and message conveyed an idealism that he and his brother sought to share with the world. RFK's worn shoe is a symbolic reminder of all of the miles he traveled in his quest for social justice on behalf of the excluded, the marginalized, and the dispossessed. The picture of Kennedy's worn shoe shows that he actually walked in the shoes of those for whom he was such a tireless advocate.-- Terrence E. Paupp

REVIEWS: Vermont Artist CINDY SOWERS Writes: "What I like most about Clyde's work is that he seems to truly care about the people and places he photographs. His lens, as an extension, mirrors that caring beautifully. As the American photographer Paul Strand said, "It is one thing to photograph people. It is another to make others care about them by revealing the core of their humanness." In that capacity, Clyde Keller is unquestionably gifted."

According to photographer WILLIAM BOLING: "Mr. Keller's photographs document America at the very highest level of photographic arts. To be in the moment of the (Robert Kennnedy) Whistle Stop, though the lens of Mr. Keller is to connect with history in a beautiful way. The print was exquisite, the service and responsiveness of Mr. Keller truly outstanding. Mr. Keller's archive is arguably the best value available on the web for the serious photography lover\collector." Frebruary 25, 2009.

Israel based artist, Irrith Rita Mashiah writes: "I agree with every word written by Mr. Boling, and would like to add:
"These days, when the Paparazi invade every privacy of famous and important people in order to satisfy some low instincts of the crowds, Clyde Keller's noble photography stands out in its beauty of preserving the honor of mankind, and by being this kind of artist, he has definitely touched me!"

SONDRA HOLTZMAN of the Cascade A&E in Bend, Oregon writes: "Artist and photographer Clyde Keller could be described as a renaissance man, emerging from a rich background in intaglio printmaking, oil painting and watercolor." His work is... "timeless photography that tells a story." From the March 2009 Article on Clyde Keller.
San Diego author, TERRENCE E. PAUPP Writes: "Clyde Keller has got to be the best photographer in the world. I purchased 12-prints from him that he took of Senator Robert F. Kennedy in 1968. This is the best investment that I have ever made. I am glad beyond words to have his photos of RFK. They are the BEST OF THE BEST. I have been an RFK admirer and student of his work for over 40 years. Never before have I seen such great photos which capture the spirit and essence of the man. I am so grateful for Clyde Keller's great work. History will be indebted to him and is already immensely enriched by his contribution and photographic genius. I love these RFK photos more than any other material possession that I own. I strongly recommend Clyde Keller's work to everyone---especially if you admire Senator Robert F. Kennedy." Author and Photo Editor Mark Christensen writes: "Many if not most professional photographers approach photography as a sort of minuet, a formal rigorously controlled dance to snap. Clyde worked much more free form, often not even using his viewfinder, his subjects barely aware of his camera. He'd drift around, talking away, and click, click, click. The result: stunning graphic reality, found and fresh. Real life in black and white." November 22, 2008
Mark's new book, "ACID CHRIST" will be published in 2010 by Schnaffer Press. I am honored to participate in this project with contributions for the book cover (designed by Jake Keihle) and interior photographs of such notables as Ken Kesey, William Burroughs, Bill Murray, Paul Krassner, Marty Christiansen and Walt Curtis.
