WILLY RONIS UNCOMMON PERSPECTIVES, UNEXPECTED PLEASURES

摘要

It may seem hard to believe, but when Edward Steichen organized the 1951 exhibition Five French Photographers at the Museum of Modern Art, none of the group were exactly household names in France, nor (even more surprising) was their work accorded the status of art in the country of their birth. Fortunately, time has a way of rectifying such injustice. Today, the names of those five photographers-Henri Cartier-Bresson,Brassai,Robert rnDoisneau, Izis and, not least, Willy Ronis-are securely enshrined in the medium's pantheon.
