Sven Nykvist (Dec. 3, 1922-Sept. 20, 2006)
Born Sven Vilhem Nykvist on 3 December 1922 in Moheda, Kronobergs län, the son of non-conformist missionaries to Africa. Prior to his 20th birthday, Nykvist got a job in 1941 with Sandrews as an assistant cameraman. Nykvist made his debut as principal cinematographer with the hugely popular Barnen från Frostmofjället (1945).
From Through a Glass Darkly (1961) onwards, Nykvist replaced Gunnar Fischer as Bergman's cinematographer of choice. Their pioneering work concentrated on the emotional impact of lighting and colour levels, Winter Light (1963) and Cries and Whispers (1973) being perhaps the most obvious examples of this approach. Having won an Oscar for best cinematography with the latter film, Nykvist found himself in increasing demand outside Sweden. The many celebrated directors with whom he worked include Louis Malle, Roman Polanski, Paul Mazursky, Volker Schlöndorff, Peter Brook and Woody Allen.
His work with Bergman continued parallel to his international career, and it was another Bergman film, Fanny and Alexander (1982), that won him his second Oscar.
In 1998 Sven Nykvist was diagnosed with aphasia and retired from the cinema. The year before he had made Woody Allen's Celebrity, his 123rd and final film. For 30 of his 55 years in the business, Sven Nykvist was one of the most celebrated and influential cinematographers in the world.
