Elliot Erwitt, historical photographer, dies

Acclaimed photographer Elliot Erwitt, known for his satirical take on his photographs, died at home on Wednesday. The Frenchman, who published more than 20 books, was 95 years old.

“He died peacefully at home surrounded by his family,” Magnum, which he had been a part of since 1953, said.

Elliott, born Elio Erwitz, was born in Paris to Russian parents and traveled with his parents throughout the United States as a child.

Throughout his career, he captured unique moments such as the altercation between US Vice President Richard Nixon and then-Prime Minister of the Soviet Union Nikita Khrushchev. The image was eventually used by the Republican Party in the 1960 campaign without the photographer’s permission.

“I was angry, but I couldn’t do anything about it,” he said at the time.

Elliott was also known for photographing dogs and well-known figures such as Marilyn Monroe. A dog lying in a cemetery, a Coca-Cola machine in the middle of a rocket exhibition in Alabama, or John F. Kennedy’s wife with her face covered in a veil at her husband’s funeral are some of the Frenchman’s most memorable photographs.
