Willy

Ronis's

most

iconic images of Paris are beautifully produced in

this

affordable

volume.

Unparalleled in his ability to portray the

Parisian joie de vivre, Willy Ronis captured

sheer delight on the faces he photographed,

from

the

Parisian

gamin

running

with

an

oversized baguette to the cheerful

Parisiennes behind the bakery counter and flower market

kiosk, and from the dancers in full swing at

a summer festival to a gaggle of children in

a bumper car tangle. His images are iconic

and varied, ranging from lovers embracing

in

front

of

the

Eiffel

Tower

to

graceful

monuments softened by a gauzy fog to a

determined factory worker protesting for her

rights.

Parisian-born

Ronis

bought

his

first

Rolleiflex camera in 1937 at the age of 27.

He trained his camera on the working class

neighborhoods of Belleville and Ménilmontant,

and strolled the streets of his beloved city,

capturing the essence of everyday life in Paris.

He

memoralized

the

urban

landscape-a

lamp-lit bridge or the leafy horse chestnut

trees

that

border

the

Seine-and

typical

Parisians-in the metro, sunbathing on the

Ile de la Cité, ice skating in the park.

This

pocket

volume

of

high-quality

reproductions is a joyful tribute to Paris and

the decorated photographer's finest work.
