Product Description

Product Description

"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.

From the Publisher

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Closer Look, 16 July 2000
By leica69 - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Common Sense (Hardcover)
It has long seemed that the formal possibilities of social documentary photography have been fully explored, not to say exhausted. Then Martin Parr comes along with his macro lens and ring-flash set-up and shows us a new way to see things that surround us. Hilarious, acerbic, and, in its reliance on color film's ability to luridly render saturated colors, uniquely photographic. Nacio Jan Brown, Berkeley, CA
