Harry Rasky, 1928-2007

From the CBC web site...

Harry Rasky
One of Canada's leading documentary makers, Harry Rasky, died on April 9 at the age of 78. Rasky was a Canadian television pioneer; he was just 24 years old when he co-founded the news documentary department at CBC. Over the course of his career, Rasky created award-winning profiles of such artists as Arthur Miller, Yousuf Karsh, Marc Chagall and Leonard Cohen. His work was so distinct, his films were often called "Raskymentaries."

Check out the link for a nice photo gallery. I've heard the man's name, but was ignorant of his work. Hopefully I can track some of his work down at the library.
