Our magazine "Fotomundo" published several articles about the Arles
photo festival,"Recontres Internationales de la Photographie de Arles"
and several Argentinean photographers were invited for the festival
from 1970; in 1979 Sara Facio (I gave a link a few weeks ago about a
photograph of mine where you can see her self-portrait reproduction,
it was taken via mirror and she appears holding a Rolleiflex) received
a prize there for her significant contribution to photography.
The same magazine published an interview to Willy Ronis when he was 90
years old, the interview is in Spanish, however you can see Willy
Ronis and other people photographs at the beginning and at the end of
the article:
