Common Sense - Hardcover
Common Sense combines extravagantly lurid and luscious colour with Parr’s trademark sense of irony. Though hilariously funny there is a sharp and biting edge to the humor. He highlights the minutiae of everyday contemporary life—hamburgers, cigarette butts, tacky gifts and dime store combs—that have been taken around the world.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Common Sense Published by Dewi Lewis Signed by Martin Parr A very close up look at life and evertytnig gaudy and tacky. The contrast of content is matched with the contrast of colours of each image. These images are very different to those in Last Resort they are much more 'In Your Face' but still capture the quirky side of the British. A collection of reproductions of the work of Martin Parr, which coincided with the launch of a travelling exhibition of his work during the spring of 1999. Hilarious & Ironic - Luscious & Lurid - Parr at his best! The launch of this extraordinary book was celebrated by simultaneous exhibitions in more than 40 different cities world-wide including London, Cardiff, Amsterdam, Dublin, Paris, Cologne, Berlin, Stuttgart, Rome, Milan, Florence, Zurich, Stockholm, Oslo, New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Montreal, Ontario, Tokyo, Singapore & Sydney. This was probably the largest exhibition of work ever held by one artist a truly global project. Internationally recognised as a brilliant satirist of contemporary life Martin Parr has led the development of the British documentary tradition with wit, style, and intelligence in a career that boasts numerous publications and exhibitions. His work is held by major galleries and museums worldwide. Common Sense combines extravagantly lurid and luscious colour with Parr's trademark sense of irony. Though hilariously funny as always with Parr's work there is a sharp and biting edge to the humour. Seller Inventory # 2121

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. First edition, first and only printing. Signed in black marker by on the first page by Parr. Hardcover. Photographically illustrated laminated paper-covered boards, no dust jacket as issued. 160 pp. with 160 four-color plates. 8-3/8x 11-3/4 inches. Published on the occasion of the 1999 exhibition Martin Parr: Common Sense, which traveled to over 38 venues in 22 different countries. [Cited in Andrew Roth, ed., The Open Book. (Göteborg, Sweden: Hasselblad Center in association with Steidl Verlag, Göttingen, Germany, 2004).]. New in publisher's shrink-wrap (slit open for signature). From the publisher: "For several years, Martin Parr has garnered huge, popular attention from the European public for his brilliant abilities as a satirist of contemporary life. His highly influential series of unsparing portraits depicting English working class life in the 1980s gave rise to the popular British documentary style as seen in younger photo stars such as Richard Billingham and Nick Waplington. Now with Common Sense, Parr reinvents the genre. Parr's exquisite sense of irony and humor shine through in lurid and luscious color photos that capture the essence of a consumer culture at the end of the millennium. His juxtapositions of everyday sights such as poodles and old-lady hairdos, or sticky Valentine's Day cupcakes and a close-up of two lover's hands invite us to revel in their absurdity as they burn us with their biting wit."
