On this episode, we welcome to the show Jerry Fielder and Anne E. Havinga to discuss Yousuf Karsh's portrait of Hemingway, which is without a doubt the most iconic image of the writer. \xa0
Who was Karsh? What was the meeting like between him and Hemingway? Why does this photo, among all those taken of Hemingway (including the others Karsh took), hold such an important place?\xa0 Our two guests are especially suited to respond to these and other questions.\xa0
Fielder joins us as the Director of the Estate of Yousuf Karsh, and Havinga holds the Estrellita and Yousuf Karsh Chair of Photography at the Museum of Fine Arts.\xa0 In fact, over the course of the interview we also get the opportunity to hear Estrellita's reflections on her husband's session with Hemingway.
