{"product_id":"willy-ronis-by-willy-ronis","title":"Willy Ronis by Willy Ronis","description":"The    definitive    reference    on    master    French     photographer  Willy  Ronis,  this  volume  reproduces   personal  and  previously  unpublished  photo  albums   of  his  work  that  he  curated  and  commentated   throughout his career.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA key figure in twentieth-century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 Brassaï- in the groundbreaking exhibitions  The Family of  Man  and  Five French Photographers .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThroughout 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.","brand":"Flammarion S.A.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42665126428708,"sku":"9782080203724","price":145.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9782080203724.jpg?v=1773247213","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/willy-ronis-by-willy-ronis","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
