Starting in 1985 Willy Ronis immersed himself in his photographic collection and selected what he considered the essential of his work. He made six albums including 590 photos that represented for him his photographic testament. These are the matrix of this exhibition. The Eye of photography underscores the importance of this great photographer who left us almost ten years ago by publishing each day one of the nine components of this exceptional exhibition, today: self-portraits.
Exhibition co-produced by the Mairie of the 20th arrondissement of Paris and theMédiathèque de l’architecture et du patrimoine, in partnership with the Union of National Museums – Grand Palais, curated by Gérard Uféras and Jean-Claude Gautrand.
