Description from the seller
Willy Ronis, Nudes. A unique and previously unpublished hardcover book by Willy Ronis, little known for his nude photographs, yet remarkably photogenic. This 2008 original edition is lavishly illustrated, with a preface by Philippe Soellers, full-page black and white duotone photographs, original dust jacket, and in very good overall condition! A French edition, primarily illustrated, this universal book consists mainly of full-page photographs. A selection by the artist Willy Ronis of his most iconic nude photographs, carefully chosen from his thousands of photographic archives accumulated over half a century!
The book weighs approximately 1.5 kg and is in very good condition, with pages and illustrations intact. It has a luxurious hardcover binding in cloth, with an embossed title. The book includes the original dust jacket and is a 2008 edition. It features duotone photographs and over 130 pages in pristine condition. The book is primarily illustrated and focuses on the theme of nudes, by Willy Ronis.
For fifty years, Willy Ronis seized every opportunity to photograph the nude, weaving a private oeuvre whose finest moments had never before been brought together. "At least eighteen of these photographs are masterpieces," wrote Philippe Sollers. Willy Ronis spontaneously found the moral compass, the placement, the lighting, the pose of the model that allowed him, faced with bodies sometimes immodest, to avoid the pitfalls of the exercise: the ethereal or the trivial. Nude photography is the essence of photography. It concentrates all its difficulty. Many great photographers have attempted it, and many have abandoned it, discouraged by its rigor. Ronis strolled through it as if in his own garden. These photographs bear marvelous witness to this.
A prized and sought-after book, and still as timeless as ever!
If you're looking for a beautiful book and an enduring source of inspiration, then this set is for YOU! It's the perfect set, priceless if you're looking for an object of artistic and photographic inspiration!
In very good condition.
"A perfectly ultra photogenic glamorous book, gathering photographs from one of the most exceptional mid 20th century humanist photographer, Pure French Glamour"
