We just lost one of the greatest representatives of humanistic photography after the war.
As Edouard Boubat, Robert Doisneau, Jacques Rene, Willy Ronis has published reports in black and white in magazines (Look, Time, Life). He joined the Rapho agency after the war.
Near Communist Party, he addressed social issues by showing the simple and happy life of ordinary people but also the social struggles and strikes. (Report in the Front Populaire)
It is part of Group XV to defend photography as an art form.
Willy Ronis was a faithful photo meeting in Arles this year that he spent a retrospective exhibition.
This year he was there to autograph books and speak with kindness, simplicity, modesty which characterized him, to tell anecdotes of his long life as a photographer with an incredible memory.
I had the chance to meet with a group of school students at the International Biennial of the Image Nancy is a precious memory.
Today just disappeared in a large photography who believed in man.
Here is a story about the Rencontres d'Arles.
