Artist’s Bio:
Like his French photography compatriots Robert Doisneau, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and Brassaï, Willy Ronis (1910-2009) was a central figure in the “humanist photography” movement, which celebrated poetry in everyday life.
Ronis became the first French staff photographer for LIFE Magazine, with work included in Edward Steichen’s “Five French Photographers” (1951) and “The Family of Man” (1955) exhibitions. In 1979 he was awarded the Grand Prix des Arts et Lettres for Photography by the Minister of Culture. Ronis also won the Prix Nadar in 1981 for his photobook, Sur le fil du hazard. In 2005–2006 Paris City Hall held a retrospective of the photographer's work that had more than 500,000 visitors.

Willy Ronis
Claiming interest in “ordinary people with ordinary lives,” Willy Ronis was among the foremost postwar French photographers, who spent his career roaming the Parisian streets capturing people in love, at work, and at play in lyrical black-and-white images. Like his colleagues Robert Doisneau, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and Brassaï, he was a central figure in the “humanist photography” movement, celebrating the poetry in the everyday in warm, witty images. “I have never sought out the extraordinary or the scoop,” he once said. “The beauty of the ordinary was always the source of my greatest emotions.” Ronis honed his sense of proportion and composition working in his parents’ photography studio. He holds the distinction of being the first French staff photographer for LIFE Magazine, and his work was included in Edward Steichen’s seminal “Five French Photographers” (1951) and “The Family of Man” (1955) exhibitions.
