Description
In this revised, updated edition of his 1983 retrospective, Yousuf Karsh, the most renowned portrait photographer of our time, presents over sixty years of his work. This classic portrait artist of the camera has repeatedly - and unforgettably - photographed the statesmen, artists, and literary and scientific figures who have shaped our lives and the private world of the mind with such perception and illumination that his image has often become the definitive portrait. Karsh is the record of a major artist whose portraits have made being "Karshed" (as Field Marshal Montgomery described it) a singular accomplishment. It is the first book on Karsh to include a large group of photographs of arresting people not in the public eye, of workers in their environments, and of his early works and experiments. It is the first book to represent his work in color, with surprising masterworks. One of the most striking features of this book is the first-time presentation of multiple portraits: a number of subjects are shown in several prints from the same or other sittings, the collective portrait revealing the consistency and depth of the photographer's vision.
