Growing up Canadian, Karsh was one of those people, like Glenn Gould, for example, whose name was stuck in my consciousness almost from birth. So it was interesting to read this fairly well written and enlightening book. It's somewhat repetitive, like it's subject, but a fast and easy read so I didn't mind. I enjoyed it but I'm still not a fan of Karsh's photography and have mixed feelings about the man himself.

As a matter of fact I'm even less a fan of the photos after reading this.

very good info but terrible organization. lots of discussion of paintings but no info what page the painting is on or if it is illustrated. i found this so irritating.

the iconic photographer and portrait master is profiled in depth in a riveting biography.

interesting, maybe a magazine article.
