Description from the seller
WILLY RONIS - NUES, TRUE 1ST ORIGINAL EDITION, PERFECTLY CAPTIVATING AND PHOTOGENIC!
NO RESERVE PRICE !
Willy Ronis, Nues. A unique and unpublished bound copy by Willy Ronis, little known for his shots of Nues, yet particularly photogenic. Original edition of 2008, richly illustrated, with a Preface by Philippe Sollers, full-page colorimetric black-and-white duotone photographs, book with original dust jacket, and overall well preserved! French edition, mainly illustrated, universal book, essentially composed of full-page photographs. A selection by the Artist Willy Ronis of his Nues photos among the most emblematic, carefully chosen from his thousands of photographic archives accumulated over half a century!
The copy weighs about 1.5 kg, with original dust jacket, pages and illustrations intact, luxury cloth hardcover, title inscription in relief. Book with original dust jacket, 2008 edition in the original version. Duotone photographs, plus 130 perfect pages, and in the universal version. Largely illustrated books, focused on the theme of Nues, by Willy Ronis.
For fifty years, Willy Ronis seized every opportunity to expose himself to the Nude. weaving a secret body of work whose finest moments had never been gathered. "At least eighteen of these photos are masterpieces," writes Philippe Sollers. Ronis instinctively finds the moral point, the place, the lighting, the model's position that allow him, in the face of bodies sometimes unashamed, not to fall into any traps of the exercise: the ethereal or the trivial. The nude photo is the essence of photography. It concentrates all its difficulty. There are many great photographers who have tackled the subject and many who have abandoned it, discouraged by its severity. Ronis wandered there as in his garden. These photos wonderfully testify to it.
A sought-after and collectible book, and still as timeless as ever!
If you are looking for a magnificent book and an inexhaustible source of inspiration, then this lot is for YOU! It is the ideal lot, of inestimable value if you are looking for an object of artistic and photographic inspiration!

"A perfectly ultra photogenic glamorous book, gathering photographs from one of the most exceptional mid-XXth century humanist photographers, Pure French Glamour"
