Now 98, Willy Ronis is a key figure in humanistic photography. Since the late thirties, his poetic images have immortalised many magical moments of everyday life, and are recognised worldwide. Last year more than 500, 000 people visited a major retrospective exhibition of his work in the Hotel de Ville, Paris. We are delighted to introduce here previously unseen works, and present the secret lifelong passion of Willy Ronis: the mountains. His love of nature and the great outdoors are revealed, demonstrating what he describes as a love affair with this majestic landscape. Far from the cities and factories that he glorified throughout his career, he found a completely different perspective: no less powerful, and perhaps more intimate.
