Unknown Author

4.9/5 (30354 ratings)

Description:Although Martin Parr is recognised today as one of the major photographers of his generation, he says little publicly about his own work. However, in this interview he opens up to Quentin Bajac and introduces the characteristic features that underpin his approach: a social perspective, both ironic and tender, towards the middle and working classes, mass consumer entertainment and leisure activities, and objects of mainstream consumption. The interview explores his upbringing and his education at Manchester Polytechnic, the controversy surrounding his work on English society in the 1980s, his distinctive place in the world of photo-reportage (at Magnum Photos), between art and the media, his attitude towards the evolution of the contemporary world, but also they many other now dominant facets of his work in photography: as a historian, an editor of books, a curator of exhibitions and a collector. If globalisation -- a favourite theme of the artist's -- gives rise to a certain disenchantment with the world, Martin Parr's images remain resolutely human, they stay with us and allow us to see and experience the world with different eyes.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
