Milestones

DIED. Andre Kertesz, 91, one of the century's most lyrical photographers; in New York City. Kertesz, born in Budapest, became a pioneer of photojournalism before World War I; after he came to the U.S. in 1936, he worked for such magazines as House & Garden, Harper's Bazaar and Vogue, but his artistry was largely unappreciated. His candid use of the 35-mm camera captured Paris and Greenwich Village street life and inspired such craftsmen as Henri Cartier- Bresson and Brassai. Says Photographer Cornell Capa: "He didn't get recognition for so long. And when it came, it was too late."
