Les petits miracles de la vie
Produced in close cooperation with Willy Ronis and featuring images from
his archives, this book traces the career of one of France's most remarkable
photographers, to whom, along with Doisneau, Cartier-Bresson, and Brassai,
we owe our romantic vision of France. In Ronis's photos of Paris, the
city is inseparable from the working class men, women, and children who
inhabit its streets and cafes. He once described his approach to photography
in five words: "patience, thinking, chance, form, and time."
Working with available light, Ronis sought to capture the fleeting moments
of everyday life, and his body of work documents, with timeless beauty
and grace, the feel of French life in the 20th century. Today, at age
94 and still working, he is a living legend.
