Summary
[edit]DescriptionNFB Photostory 159 - Portrait of Karsh, Close-Up of a Celebrated Canadian.jpg |
English: Forty-nine year old Yousuf Karsh, who came to Canada from Armenia 35 years ago, stands today as one of the master portrait photographers of the world. He first achieved international recognition with his pictures of World War II leaders which form part of his collection of notables in "Faces of Destiny". Far from standing in awe of his subjects, Karsh is usually able to calm the more irascible with his own persuasiveness. Said Churchill after he had grudgingly allotted him a few moments for his portrait: "he can make a roaring lion stand still". Czechoslovakia's revered President Benes described him as "a formidable fellow, the only dictator I ever listened to." |
