        David Goldblatt, a South African photographer who for decades chronicled the harsh fallout of white minority rule in his country, has died at the age of 87.
        
        The Johannesburg-based Goodman Gallery says he died "peacefully" at his home in the city early Monday.
        
        The gallery describes Goldblatt as a "legend, a teacher, a national icon and a man of absolute integrity."
        
        Goldblatt used his cameras to explore apartheid and its devastating impact on daily lives, photographing blacks and whites in ways that highlighted the state-backed system of racial repression that ended in 1994.
        
        His work was shown extensively around the world.
        
        Goldblatt's funeral will be Tuesday.
