Willy Ronis



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.

Wikipedia Bio


Below is a page dating back almost 20 years. To the left are the prices at his passing. I keep these two pages because they show an overview
of Ronis' work. The prints are long sold, but some may be avilable on the secondary market (usually at a higher price).
The three pieces on top are currently available in our inventory.
