Book Karsh

    Book Details:
  • Author : Yousuf Karsh
  • Publisher : Bulfinch Press
  • Release : 1996
  • ISBN : 9780821223345
  • Pages : 191 pages

Download or read book Karsh written by Yousuf Karsh and published by Bulfinch Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book In Search of Greatness

Download or read book In Search of Greatness written by Yousef Karsh and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1962-12-15 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Yousuf Karsh, whose great photographic portraits have revealed so vividly the outstanding personalities of our time, writes about his own life and work. It is the story of an Armenian immigrant boy who rose to be the world's finest portrait photographer, whose pictures, reproduced in newspapers, magazines, and books, and shown in museums, art galleries and exhibitions, have been admired by hundreds of thousands of people all over the world. Of his early years in Armenia, Karsh gives a brief but compelling account, writing without bitterness but not sparing the reader the impact on his youthful mind of the brutalities, massacres, and atrocities of that time. The dramatic impression made on him by his first experiences as a young citizen of Sherbrooke, Quebec. His several years of study in Boston with the famous photographer, Garo, show the gradual development of his ideas and skills in portraiture. In 1932, Karsh opened his own studio in Ottawa, capital city of Canada, and there he met Solange Gauthier, the volatile, charming, and practical Frenchwoman whom he married. Together they established his world-wide reputation. Karsh takes the reader with him to his sittings, and shows how he seeks to bring out the essence of the personalities he is portraying. The reader accompanies Karsh and Madam Karsh as they travel to Washington, New York, Hollywood, across Canada and to the Arctic, and on their European tours, photographing and interviewing statesmen, tycoons, artists, actors, musicians, popes, presidents, and kings. At Karsh's side, the reader hears Churchill's lion roar, the wit of Bernard Shaw, the bark of John L. Lewis, the profound accents of Einstein. He observes the grave serenity of Sibelius, and hears the noble 'cello of Casals. He shares in the problems and disappointments of securing adequate reproduction of the portraits in book form, and in the artist's gratification when Portraits of Greatness, printed by the finest gravure for the University of Toronto Press, appeared in 1959 and the magnificent volume became an immediate best-seller. Yousuf's profession has led him into the high places of the world, and this book is enriched by his twenty years of observation of the celebrities he has encountered. These are the experiences of a distinguished artist, a gifted raconteur, and a delightful human being.
