Willy Ronis was born in Paris in 1910 and died in 2009 at the age of
99. He became a full-time
photographer in 1945. He joined Doisneau, Brassaï and others at the
Rapho Agency. He was the first French photographer to work for LIFE
Magazine, and Edward Steichen exhibited him at the Museum of Modern Art
in 1953 in a show called Four French Photographers. He was also part of
the Family of Man exhibit. Afterimage Gallery gave him what was
perhaps his first American art gallery show in 1985.
