Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. viii, [2], 261, [1] pages. Illustrations (some in color). Publisher's Preface. Author's Note. Notes. Selected Bibliography. Index. Signed by the author on the half-title page. This book tells the fascinating true story of the world's most famous painting-and the…cultural ambassador who helped bring her to America. In December 1962, "Mona Mania" swept the country as Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa set sail from Paris to New York for what many knew would be the riskiest art exhibition ever mounted. The driving force behind the famous painting's high-profile visit was First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, who convinced French Cultural Minister André Malraux and National Gallery Director John Walker to share the masterpiece with the American people. The White House Historical Association presents an enhanced and expanded publication of Mona Lisa in Camelot with archives drawn from the National Gallery of Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Stewart McLaurin, President of the White House Historical Association, writes, "Margaret Leslie Davis's captivating account of the loan of the Mona Lisa by France is of special interest to the White House Historical Association because the circumstances that brought the masterpiece to the United States are the same circumstances that gave birth to the White House Historical Association. First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy was determined to share the greatest painting in the world with the American people, and just as determined to make the White House a "living museum" accessible to the nation." Margaret Leslie Davis is the author of three acclaimed biographies of important American empire builders. Mona Lisa in Camelot: How Jacqueline Kennedy and Da Vinci's Masterpiece Charmed and Captivated a Nation, chronicles the Mona Lisa's voyage to America in 1963 and the critical role the First Lady played in America's first museum blockbuster show. The book has been showcased on ABC's Good Morning America, excerpted in Vanity Fair magazine and featured in the Sunday London Times. Columnist Liz Smith called the book "an engaging and dynamite story" and an important addition to American museum and art history. Davis's work has been featured on C-SPAN Book TV, the History Channel's "Modern Marvels" and documentaries seen on the Discovery Channel and A&E's "Biography." The author has appeared on numerous television and radio programs nationwide and is a frequent speaker and lecturer. She is a California lawyer and a graduate of Georgetown University. She is a Fellow of the Los Angeles Institute for the Humanities at the University of Southern California. Second Edition [stated] First printing [stated].
