KARSH, Yousuf
It was then that he became known around the world as Karsh of Ottawa, a name that would be associated with his iconic portraits of such subjects as Ernest Hemingway, Pablo Picasso, H.R.H. Queen Elizabeth II, John F. Kennedy, Pablo Casals, Pierre Trudeau, Princess Grace of Monaco, Walt Disney, Andy Warhol, Mother Theresa, and Nelson Mandela. In the International Who's Who of 2000, which listed the most influential people of the 20th Century, Karsh was the only Canadian of the 100 distinguished individuals chosen - 51 of whom Karsh had photographed during his extraordinary six decade career.
