Willy Ronis is a great photographer. Most of his pictures are composed in a style rather classic, which is reminiscent of the pictures often more famous Doisneau or Cartier-Bresson. Ronis is distinguished by Doisneau, among others, because his photos are more intimate: he often puts his relatives as directed in "nap", photo taken at his home in Gordes in 1949. But basically, the look of Ronis is close to that of Doisneau. It's a look condescendingly on the people without their time and the time in question covers virtually the twentieth century. Pictures taken just after the War are among the most beautiful: we see simple people, often poor but worthy. Willy Ronis

work of Willy Ronis in the interiors of Vaucluse resembles the aesthetic treatment of Georges de La Tour or a Johannes Vermeer painting: light hue Materials and places, objects timeless silhouettes. I think particularly of "Nu Provencal", yet absent from this volume. Even in black and white color we perceive and feel the walls beige, browns, ochres of Roussillon torn curtains still found today when one loses in Gordes, a few steps of a luxury hotel suspended mountainside. Willy Ronis
Paris as Doisneau photographed, but he photographed the South probably as a person. Her women are superb, from the "Merchant of fries" to "The dressing Beaucairois" through those that barely sees, hanging from the neck a licensee or hidden behind the nakedness of their eighteen years.
