DPH.Yousuf Karsh Born in Armenia, settling first in Canada and eventually in the United States, Karsh made a career photographing the world's most distinguished statesmen, artists, literary figures, musicians, scientists, actors, and actresses. Traveling the globe, he gained access to virtually every great figure of his time. Among his iconic images are ones he made of Winston Churchill (1941), Albert Einstein (1948), Pablo Picasso (1954), Georgia O'Keeffe (1956), Ernest Hemingway (1957), Jacqueline Kennedy (1957), Sophia Loren (1981), and Jessye Norman (1990). /internal/media/dispatcher/736992/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Aaron Copland 1956 Yousuf Karsh 1998.262 97528 /internal/media/dispatcher/737017/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Agnes MacPhail 1934 Yousuf Karsh 1998.290 97556 /internal/media/dispatcher/737039/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Albert Camus 1954 Yousuf Karsh 1998.328 97594 /internal/media/dispatcher/737043/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Albert Einstein 1948 Yousuf Karsh 1998.340 97606 /internal/media/dispatcher/1039987/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Alberto Giacometti 1965 Yousuf Karsh 1996.155 156680 /internal/media/dispatcher/1039992/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Albert Schweitzer 1954 Yousuf Karsh 1996.177 156702 /internal/media/dispatcher/984502/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Alexander Calder 1965 Yousuf Karsh 1998.327 97593 /internal/media/dispatcher/737360/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Alfred Cortot 1954 Yousuf Karsh 1998.333 97599 /internal/media/dispatcher/737370/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Alfred Hitchcock 1960 Yousuf Karsh 1998.352 97618 /internal/media/dispatcher/1046624/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail André Malraux 1954 Yousuf Karsh 1998.362 97628 /internal/media/dispatcher/1050097/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Andy Warhol 1979 Yousuf Karsh 1996.182 155975 /internal/media/dispatcher/1046619/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Anita Ekberg 1956 Yousuf Karsh 1996.152 156677 /internal/media/dispatcher/1039990/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Anna Magnani 1958 Yousuf Karsh 1996.167 156692 /internal/media/dispatcher/1459879/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Apollo XI Crew 1969 Yousuf Karsh 1998.252 97518 /internal/media/dispatcher/737034/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Arnold Joseph Toynbee 1955 Yousuf Karsh 1998.316 97582 /internal/media/dispatcher/736998/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Arthur Fiedler 1976 Yousuf Karsh 1998.269 97535 /internal/media/dispatcher/579748/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Arthur Miller 1991 Yousuf Karsh 1998.294 97560 /internal/media/dispatcher/750341/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Atlas Steel (Lancelot) 1950 Yousuf Karsh 1998.254 97520 /internal/media/dispatcher/737337/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Atlas Steel (two men, goggles) 1950 Yousuf Karsh 1998.253 97519 /internal/media/dispatcher/1040007/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Audrey Hepburn 1956 Yousuf Karsh 1996.158 156683 /internal/media/dispatcher/737257/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Augustus John 1954 Yousuf Karsh 1996.159 156684 /internal/media/dispatcher/737010/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Augustus John (head and shoulders) 1954 Yousuf Karsh 1998.282 97548 /internal/media/dispatcher/807721/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Benjamin Britten 1954 Yousuf Karsh 1998.326 97592 /internal/media/dispatcher/737028/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Ben Shahn 1966 Yousuf Karsh 1998.306 97572 /internal/media/dispatcher/1040009/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Bertrand Russell 1949 Yousuf Karsh 1998.305 97571 /internal/media/dispatcher/1046595/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Betty Low 1936 Yousuf Karsh 1998.288 97554 /internal/media/dispatcher/737358/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Bill Clinton 1993 Yousuf Karsh 1998.331 97597 /internal/media/dispatcher/1039989/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Boris Karloff 1946 Yousuf Karsh 1996.160 156685 /internal/media/dispatcher/1459374/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Brigitte Bardot 1958 Yousuf Karsh 1998.323 97589 /internal/media/dispatcher/1459880/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Buckminster Fuller 1980 Yousuf Karsh 1998.274 97540 /internal/media/dispatcher/737341/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Carl Jung (head and shoulders) 1958 Yousuf Karsh 1998.284 97550 /internal/media/dispatcher/737371/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Carl Jung (in office) 1958 Yousuf Karsh 1998.355 97621 /internal/media/dispatcher/737250/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail Cecil B.
