Karsh: A Sixty Year Retrospective
This revised and updated portfolio includes nearly 200 images by the master portrait photographer. The best known faces of our time have been memorably "Karshed"--a gloweringChurchill(his trademark cigar having been just snatched out of his mouth), a beaming Khruschev peeking out from a massive fur coat, a sereneHelen Kellerreading a book of Braille with quiet delight, a pensiveTennessee Williamsat his typewriter, an impish Margaret O'Brien yanking at her pigtails. Karsh's portraits of fellow artists--especially sculptors and architects--are among his most sensitive and intuitive.
