(( Умудрился пережить и жену-коммунистку, и приемного сына. Утверждают, что занятия музыкой заметно на его фотках.
К сожалению, на быструю руку, более-менее приличной серии его работ не обнаружил.))

Ronis was born in Paris; his father, Emmanuel Ronis,[2] was a Jewish refugee from Odessa, and his mother, Ida Gluckmann,[2] was a refugee from Lithuania, both escaped from the pogroms. His father opened a photography studio in Montmartre, and his mother gave piano lessons.[3] The boy's early interest was music and he hoped to become a composer. Ronis' passion for music has been observed in his photographs.[4]

Returning from compulsory military service in 1932, his violin studies were put on hold because his father's cancer required Ronis to take over the family portrait business. The work of photographers, Alfred Stieglitz and Ansel Adams inspired Ronis to begin exploring photography.[5] His father died in 1936, whereupon Ronis sold the business and set up as a freelance photographer,[6] his first work being published in Regards.[7]

In 1937 he met David Seymour and Robert Capa, and did his first work for Plaisir de France; in 1938–39 he reported on a strike at Citroën and traveled in the Balkans.[7] With Henri Cartier-Bresson, Ronis belonged to Association des Écrivains et Artistes Révolutionnaires, and remained a man of the left.[4] In 1946 Ronis joined the photo agency Rapho, with Brassaï, Robert Doisneau and Ergy Landau,[5] and was instrumental in forming the professional association Le Groupe des XV, and later joined Les 30 x 40, Club Photographique de Paris. Ronis became the first French photographer to work for Life.[5]

Marie-Anne

Ronis' wife, the Communist militant painter Marie-Anne Lansiaux (1910–91),[4] was the subject of his well-known 1949 photograph, Nu provençal (Provençal nude). The photograph, taken in a house that Marie-Anne and he had just bought in Gordes,[14] showed Marie-Anne washing at a basin with a water pitcher on the floor and an open window through which the viewer can see a garden, this is noted for its ability to convey an easy feeling of Provençal life. The photograph was a "huge success";[4] Ronis would comment, "The destiny of this image, published constantly around the world, still astonishes me."[14] Ronis lived in Provence from the 1960s to the 1980s.[4]

Late in her life, Ronis photographed Marie-Anne suffering from Alzheimer's disease, sitting alone in a park surrounded by autumn trees.[11]
