Willy Ronis 1910–2009
|
Photojournalist Willy Ronis was born in Paris to a Lithuanian piano teacher and a Ukranian studio photographer. He worked in his father’s Montmarte studio until the father’s death in 1936. He then closed the studio and joined the photo agency Rapho, with Brassaï, Robert Doisneau and Ergy Landau. In 1953 Edward Steichen included his work in an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art titled Five French Photographers—the other four were Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Doisneau, Izis and Brassaï. Ronis was also included in the Family of Man exhibit in 1955. In 1957 Ronis was awarded the Gold Medal at the Venice Biennale. Willy Ronis passed away on September 12, 2009.
