  • Karsh: a Feast for the Eyes Book Review
    KARSH: A FEAST FOR THE EYES BOOK REVIEW Shutter Release, February 2003 Karsh: A Sixty-Year Retrospective by Yousuf Karsh; Little, Brown and Company, Boston. 192 pages. $75 H.G. Wells. Ansel Adams. Bill Clinton. Sophia Loren. Helen Keller. Fidel Castro. Mother Teresa. I.M. Pei. What do these luminaries have in common? All sat in quiet pose before Yousuf Karsh, the outstanding portrait photographer. His autobiographical retrospective expansively illustrates his talent and genius. Nearly every image is worthy of extended contemplation—skillfully crafted, thoughtful, reflective. Not only that, but this book features storytelling. Most coffee-table photography books begin with concise text followed by page after page of images without any significant descriptive. Potential buyers tend to peruse the pictures in the bookstore, then see little reason to purchase the invariably costly volume. The Karsh retrospective is different. Comprised of 140 full-page portraits and 30 smaller images, it manages to read as an absorbing book of historical sketches: Each image is accompanied by anecdotal history as recalled by Karsh himself. The bookstore browser finds it difficult to put the book down, and the buyer acquires not just a treasury of photography but a wealth of biographical history. In this spellbinding volume, you can learn what King Faisal thought at the UN Conference in 1945; about Ernest Hemingway’s approach to beginning a novel; and a full description of Georgia O’Keefe’s simple adobe house in New Mexico, as told to or witnessed by Karsh. Yet he is clearly loyal to his subjects, as the recollections do not contain anything unseemly or embarrassing.
