Book excerpt: Smithsonian Institution Press is pleased to join Motta Fotografia, one of Europe's foremost publishers of photography, in presenting a series showcasing the work of postwar masters. Each book includes more than forty duotone or color images and represents an original approach to a particular theme by one of the century's finest documentary or fine-art photographers. Documentary photographer, Ronis, captures Parisians in moments of unalloyed leisure by the Seine river. Reminiscent of impressionist scenes, the images express the tranquillity of warm Sundays and the calm communal spirit created by the water's flow.
