Yousuf Karsh
Canadian, born Armenia, 1908–2002
Henry Moore (1898–1986) Moore became the best-known modern artist in twentieth-century England. Karsh made this portrait in Moore’s Much Hadham studio about the same time that the prolific sculptor was in the process of donating a large collection of his work to the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, near Karsh’s home in Ottawa, Canada. Moore is one of several people Karsh portrayed more than once. Moore had posed in his studio in 1949, and he sat with sculptors Jacques Lipchitz (1891–1973) and Marino Marini (1901–1980) in 1970 in Cararra, Italy.
