of

his

work

that

he

curated

and

commentated

throughout his career.

A key figure in twentieth-century photography,

Willy Ronis conveyed the poetic reality of

postwar France in iconic black and white

photographs. Influenced by Alfred Steiglitz and

Ansel Adams, and amicable with his contemporary

Magnum photographers, Ronis was the first

French photographer to contribute to Life

magazine. In the 1950s, MoMA curator Edward

Steichen featured Ronis-along with Henri- Cartier Bresson, Robert Doisneau, and Brassai- in the groundbreaking exhibitions

The Family of

Man

and

Five French Photographers .

Throughout his life, this powerhouse of

humanist photography kept meticulous record of

his work, curating each era into albums, which

are reproduced here for the first time. Timeless

photographs of postwar France and its inhabitants

are accompanied by the photographer's original

observations and comments, framing the images

within their technical and historical context.

Photography historian Matthieu Rivallin's critical

perspective adds nuance to the photographer's

notes, and the ensemble is a groundbreaking and

definitive reference on the myriad aspects of the

artists' immense career and is an essential volume

for all photography aficionados.
