Casting JFK in bronze 

Looks like a flattering representation of him

Caroline has been through so much😔it’s so admirable how she soldiers on, being the voice to continue the legacy for her parents and brother,-all of whom are gone now. God bless her, she seems like a great lady.🙏👍❤️😘

This is a beautiful memory of President John Kennedy.

I loved working with Studio EIS as a model for the Virginia Women's Monument! Such a fantastic & talented group of people.

I still miss him.

This is genuine art, heartwarming and moving! What a talented group, EIS! A sculpture that captures the very essence of the subject, more so than the giant bust indoors. Truly, a worthy addition to the Kennedy Center. Caroline and the rest of the family should be proud. I think President Kennedy would have enjoyed it; he probably would have made jokes about it.

killed it! It looks very approchable bravo!

A funny little quirk of JFK is what they say about his button - you’re only meant to do the top button up on a suit, but in all his pictures he does both to hide his back brace. It’s so cool they immortalised that minute feature, also gives the man humanity - that he suffered like everyone else.

brought a tear to my eye...beautiful...

Support The Arts!

I sometimes wonder where this country would be if the Kennedy Brothers hadn't been killed?

David Rubenstein, thank you so much for your continued gifts. And thank you sculptors, JFK is remarkable again.

Went on a White House tour 8 years ago. Last stop is hallway with big JFK portrait - classic one with his arms folded & he is looking down. I stood there taking a photo & overheard 2 American young college age women stand near me asking the other who was the portrait of. Neither knew. So scary when history is not taught, when schools & parents & grandparents don't do their jobs in educating the next generation.

Interesting and nicely done story.

They should have been the ones to do the Statue of Lucile Ball………….

I like how he is represented in larger than life form

Wow dang this definitely is an incredibly accurate sculpture and a lot of people including myself definitely appreciate the attention to detail especially in his different speeches and films and the making really was precise and quite amazing so overall a great job on this one. 👍

I have a special affinity for John F. Kennedy. He was inaugurated just two weeks before I was born, so I guess I could say my life began with his administration. Obviously, I was too young to personally remember him, but as a lifelong student of history I feel I've come to feel I know him personally enough to still feel a deep sense of disappointment over what could have been.

Great image of "smiling Jack" Kennedy. It's hard to capture teeth in bronze

Stop taking old statues down it’s in the past we can’t change the past but can learn from those past mistakes

He and Johnny Carson had the same mannerisms while entering. Even the hair and smile. I just realized that.

The head from the front looks like Teddy and from the bottom right looks like Bobby.

My dad left a small town in County Kerry Ireland, and ended up America in the Korean War, after his death his small town in Ireland honours him with the flag of the USA ( my mom and brother where in attendance) The representative’s gave mom the US flag🇺🇸 he adored President Kennedy perhaps because Irish background, but he served in the Korean War before President Kennedy ever became president god bless you Tommy O’ keeffe 1929-2008🇮🇪🇺🇸

I am not lucky to be borned during JFKs Era He was a great inspiration for all tennagers not only to the United States but all around the world I now have his grand grand child's age But JFK remains One of my best President in life

The Kennedy Center is gorgeous inside, not so much outside ! Take the tour if it is still available!

President John Kennedy was a special person.

Very Nice!

Will they also create one of Bobby Kennedy? or has 1 already been done?

Mr. Powers looks a little tense,’ he said. ‘Would you take care of it?

How beautifuL 🇺🇸 Our 35th President .. JFK ♥️ amazing artists 🙏🏼

I hope to see this in person when I revisit Washington DC again soon

Like his walking stance but the eyes are not like JFK’s, not him from nose on up. IMO.

Wow, these are great...

Watch a bunch of trumpets wait for it to come to life and run for vp.

5:20 When Sunday Morning continues remembering Sidney Poitier

Why is is this just happening now?? Shoulf of been done long ago

I enjoy looking at bronze statues of famous people. I was born the year the Kennedy center opened.

President Kennedy wasn't perfect, but like this monument, he was bigger than life. A veteran President. No bone spurs.

No closed captions available? Really?

I like Captain Kennedy right where he is..

When the Kennedy Center opened, one architecture critic derided it as “the box the Watergate came in.” Ever since I can’t look at it without thinking of that line.

Look Gary, there I am!

Closed Caption??? Why do you REFUSE to use them for us impaired viewers????? Get with it CBS!!!!

Great statue for a Great Man !

I was in 1grade, and the Principal announced President Kennedys death over loudspeaker, everyone was crying Everyone...

Please come back!!! And Jackie too!!!

It was very appropriate that the jfk statue had his pants down around his ankles.

Enjoy it now. It will be torn down within the next decade. You heard it here first.

as somebody who witnessed recent History! to see CBS News put such a beautiful sculpture up after they cheered years of people tearing them down and throwing them in rivers bashing them with hammers I'm standing here with my mouth wide open in shock ...

Oh, look, from his ancestors, JFK got hands the shape of Sigmund Freud's lute/cello/classical guitar hands. I don't recall what my grandpapa's hands looked like. But my mother took one look at MY hands when I was little and made me study the cello. My dad carries the lute hands and many of his German lutenist friends, with Sigmund-esque faces, not only, carry lute hands but express them also. My dad expresses FDR/piano hands, much longer and more elegant. I express my dad's long, elegant limbs...until the wrists and ankles, and "click", there are the pudgy, strong, lute-playing hands and sturdy, d-width feet, at the end of each long, elegant, FDR and Henry James limb. You can see limbs like that on Gregory Hines, for example. (Grandpapa had the long limbs, also. Even into his seventies, when he went to the swimming pool at the Racquet Club, in his red plaid knee length swimming trunks, his chest and body were the same as JFK's in the PT 109 photos... and Grandpapa KNEW it. I wouldn't say he ever strutted. He just walked slowly, in a dignified manner, along the poolside, with his pre-teen granddaughter at his side, until we came to our pool chairs.... At the pool as at the press club and the capitol, he introduced me to everyone as "This is my granddaughter, Mark's daughter. Doesn't she look like me?" And I did look like him, especially like his photos from when he had been my age. Grandpapa had spent his teen-aged college summers of 1916 and 1919 in Worcester, MA, with his parents, and likely had a summer job, like the character Johnny in the movie Dirty Dancing, only it had all taken place some 45 years earlier in real life than in that movie.) It was an ahah moment to eat dinner in Germany a few years ago with a group of bearded Freud lookalikes who all played the lute....and had Sigmund Freud hands as well as faces. So that's where the pudgy, strong hands come from.... Sigmund Freud!

No monument for Chinese Rail workers?

Awesome art work of an American!

They should have done Diana’s sculpture, the one that was recently unveiled is dreadful and doesn’t even look like her

JFK made it possible for federal employees to unionize which made it almost impossible to fire them. Let's tear down his statue too.

Hope this statue will not be toppled... like everyone else in these times.

3D printing is actually the way they do it.

Ask not what your country can do for you but ask what can you do for your country . That would be consider racist now thank you media for dividing us .

Unbelievable. It’s bad enough to shoot the man. Smh 🤦‍♂️

THAT'S EASY TO DO...LIKE KISSING HANDS

Schools should have to play JFK's brilliant speeches to their students in an effort to erase the memory of Trump from their minds.

I think JFK is the last idolized democratic president. LBJ accomplished more but is less thought of because of Vietnam. Carter was a man of morals and principle which just didn't work in Washington D.C. (a place where there are none). Clinton blew what little legacy he had on an affair in office. Obama is about as good as a modern day president you will ever find and is well thought of but no monuments have been built to him yet. I think all of this is so because democrats tend not to idolize leaders. They only care about what you can get done in office. Republicans on the other hand are all idolizers. They named everything they could after Reagan. They treat Trump like he is the golden calf. They want to build a shrine to every leader they have. Put them up on a pedestal. They are now a cult in the form of a gang.

Elliott looks remarkably like Joe Kennedy Sr.

NICE! I PUT UP A VIDEO SHOWING MASTER CHRIST SENDING ME A 😇 OF LIGHT. JESUS CHRIST LIVES LIVES THROUGH ME ✝️🔯

I think it’s good to pull some of those old statues down. People get too attached to figures from the past. We have to dig into everything in someone’s life to make sure they are worthy of being memorialized for generations to come. So taking down statues of evil men like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.. and putting statues and monuments of George Floyd in their place is 100% the right thing to do. Because after all, we want young people to look to memorialized men like George Floyd and the things they did in their life and mold themselves after the qualities men like him represent.. It’s all truly starting to make sense. #2022America

Q people going crazy

Whoa...he did many Lincolns and Washingtons? Reeeeeeeee!!!! Racist!

*The 'JFK' bronze looks 'amateur Disney' to me...it looks 'lifeless'*

Why bother you know some people are going to pull them down & destroy them; they will claim it oppresses them.
