Paul Éluard & his second wife Dominique happen to be on the same plane with Willy Ronis, in February 1952.
"During the flight, a veiled ray of sunlight came for a moment to give the poet a superb light."
Ronis is always aware of the light!
Éluard died that November.

Studio Harcourt had the highest technical standards, but like most studio operations, there was sometimes a certain blandness & lack of individuality. But talented photographers like Raymond Voinquel worked there; I wonder if he might have taken this portrait of Paul Éluard, 1945
