Willy Ronis (1910-2009)

Born in France, Willy Ronis was an award-winning photographer, whose photographic works were devoted to the postwar period. His photographs depict life on the streets in Paris and the Provence. Along with Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Doisneau, Ronis is among the representatives of the French School of the Photographic Humanism. The city of Paris honored him with an exhibition at the town hall and also the Art Museum Picasso in Münster dedicated a retrospective to the artist in 2013 consisting of 80 works. (tm)
