Excerpt from an article published in Canadian Business
Magazine February 27, 2005
“Lilly Koltun, director of the Portrait Gallery of Canada, where an
entire room will be devoted to master photographer Yousuf Karsh when it
opens its doors in Ottawa in 2007, points to V. Tony Hauser of Toronto as
an artist who has taken the heritage of Karsh and created a new style which
is nevertheless in the same kind of grand manner. Working mostly in black
and white, and preferring simple settings to elaborate ones, Hauser
‘shot' then Gov. Gen. Adrienne Clarkson in a wool dress designed by
Issey Miyake on the vice-regal stairway of Rideau Hall. His portrait of
Guujaaw has the president of the West Coast Haida Nation leaning informally
over a half-carved totem pole.”
