About
Why this artist matters now
Captain Cecil W. Stoughton was an American military photographer who served as official White House photographer during the Kennedy administration. His black-and-white photographs document pivotal Cold War-era events and domestic political moments with the direct, factual approach characteristic of mid-century photojournalism. Stoughton's archive constitutes a crucial visual record of early 1960s American political life, capturing both ceremonial and candid moments within the executive office.
