Legendary cinematographer Svend Nykvist passed away today at age 83 after a long illness, and although he's hardly a household name, he's created images and visions that will endure. Nykvist passed away today after a long struggle with dementia at a nursing home in his native Sweden; he is survived by a son, a daughter-in-law and two grandchildren -- as well as a body of work than included Oscar wins for Cries and Whispers and Fanny and Alexander.
