William Klein, an American photographer whose innovative portraiture style strongly influenced fashion and street photography in the second half of the 20th century, has died. He was 96 years old.Born in New York City in 1926 to Hungarian Jewish parents, Mr. Klein grew up in Manhattan and studied sociology at the City College of New York. After serving in Europe with the US Army during World War II, he moved to Paris to study painting under the GI Bill.
Mr. Klein, who studied briefly with French painters Andre Lhote and Fernand Leger, had his first solo exhibition of paintings in Brussels in 1951, and another in Milan a year later. During the same period, he created a ground-breaking photographic diary of his native New York, titled “Life is Good & Good For You in New York.” The book featured Mr. Klein’s unconventional use of wide angles, contrasts in composition and unusual framing, which came to define the still-nascent genre of street photography.
