Yousuf Karsh is a classic portrait artist of the camera, photographer of the world’s great. To be photographed by Karsh has been a sig of personal accomplishment for a third of a century. During that time his camera lens has repeatedly — and unforgettably — recorded the illuminating gesture, the unique attitude, the moment’s reflection, to create a definitive picture of one celebrated personality after another. Here in one volume are forty-eight memorable portraits from the Karsh portfolio. they form an imposing cross-section of the figures who have shaped our public life and private thoughts. Some of the faces are familiar: the qualities of greatness that make a Churchill, a Shaw, a Hemingway, an Einstein, a Casals, a Sibelius, or a Schweitzer are not eclipsed even within a full generation.
