Willy Ronis



Willy Ronis was born in Paris in 1910. He became a full-time photographer in 1945. He joined Doisneau, Brassaï and others at the Rapho Agency. He was the first French photographer to work for LIFE Magazine, and Edward Steichen exhibited him at the Museum of Modern Art in 1953 in a show called Four French Photographers. He was also part of the Family of Man exhibit. The Afterimage Gallery gave him what was perhaps his first American art gallery show in 1985.

Mr. Ronis passed away on September 12, 2009. His positive view of life is evident in his work.
Most of the photographs below are available, but they might not be much longer. Prices may also be a bit higher.
