About the Item

Willy Ronis (Paris, France, August 14, 1910 - Paris, September 12, 2009) was a French photographer who portrayed post-war Paris and Provence during his lifetime. Ronis' father was a Jewish refugee in Odessa who opened a photography studio in Montmartre and his mother was a refugee from Lithuania who taught piano lessons. Ronis' first interest was in music, dreaming of becoming a composer. Returning from military service in 1932, his violin lessons had to stop because his father was suffering from cancer, which meant that Ronis had to take over the family business. The works of photographers Alfred Stieglitz and Ansel Adams inspired Ronis to begin exploring the world of photography. When his father died in 1949, Ronis closed the studio and joined the Rapho agency, with Ergy Landau, Brassaï, and Robert Doisneau with whom he participated in the photographic group Les XV. Ronis became the first French photographer to work for LIFE magazine. In 1953, Edward Steichen included Ronis, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Doisneau, Izis, and Brassaï in an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, MoMA entitled Five French Photographers. In 1955, Ronis was included in the exhibition The Family of Man. The Venice Biennale awarded Ronis the gold medal in 1957.
