Albert Einstein

Karsh met Einstein at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton on February 11, 1948, and found him simple, kindly and free of any airs. Asked what the world would be like if another atomic bomb were dropped, Einstein replied that we would no longer be able to hear the music of Mozart. With hands clasped and face lit against black, this is the thoughtful Einstein, a counterweight to the playful snapshots most people know.
