    ALMA SPONSORS "KARSH IS HISTORY" DOCUMENTARY

    PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian Library And Museum of America (ALMA)
    announced its sponsorship of the WGBH Channel 2 documentary titled
    "Karsh Is History".

    "Karsh Is History: Yousuf Karsh And Portrait Photography" traces the
    remarkable, six-decade career of Karsh, during which he made 15,312
    portraits, among them some of the most celebrated figures of the
    20th century.

    His subjects were the great personalities of his generation:
    statesmen, artists, musicians, authors, actors, and scientists -
    and every American president from Roosevelt to Clinton. Karsh had a
    remarkable gift of capturing their essence in an instant. Even more
    impressive, Karsh shot his photographs with film, which still required
    careful development and processing. One of his most famous shots was
    his iconic 1941 portrait of Winston Churchill, which (like so many of
    his others) appeared on the cover of Life magazine and sealed Karsh's
    place in history.
