Life and career

edit
Parr in 2014

Personal life

edit

Born inEpsom,Surrey,[9]Parr wanted to become a documentary photographer from the age of fourteen. He cites his grandfather, George Parr, an amateur photographer[9]and fellow of theRoyal Photographic Society,as an early influence.[4][10]: 13, 14 He married Susan Mitchell and they have one child, Ellen Parr (born 1986). Parr was diagnosed with cancer in May 2021.[11]

Photographer

edit

Parr has said of his photography:

The fundamental thing I'm exploring constantly is the difference between the mythology of the place and the reality of it.[10]: 57 ... Remember I make serious photographs disguised as entertainment. That's part of my mantra. I make the pictures acceptable to find the audience but deep down there is actually a lot going on that's not sharply written in your face. If you want to read it you can read it.[10]: 69, 70 

Parr's aesthetic is close-up, through use of amacro lens,and employing saturated[12]colour, a result of either the type of film and/or use of aring flash.This allows him to put his subjects "under the microscope" in their own environment, giving them space to expose their lives and values in ways that often involve inadvertent humour.[4]His technique, as seen in his bookSigns of the Times: A Portrait of the Nation's Tastes(1992), has been said to leave viewers with ambiguous emotional reactions, unsure whether to laugh or cry.[13]

Manchester Polytechnic, 1970–1973

edit

Parr studied photography atManchester Polytechnicfrom 1970 to 1972 with contemporariesDaniel MeadowsandBrian Griffin.[14]: 24 Parr and Meadows collaborated on various projects,[15]: 14 including working atButlin'sas roving photographers.[16]They were part of a new wave of documentary photographers, "a loose British grouping, which, though it never gave itself a title have become variously known as 'the Young British Photographers', 'Independent Photographers' and the 'New British Photography'."[10]: 49, 50 [14]: 17 

Rural communities, West Yorkshire, Greater Manchester and Ireland, 1975–1982

edit

In 1975 Parr moved toHebden Bridgein West Yorkshire[10]: 23 [17]where he would complete his first mature work.[18]He was involved with the Albert Street Workshop, a hub for artistic activity which included a darkroom and exhibition space. Parr spent five years photographing rural life in the area, focusing on theMethodist(and someBaptist)non-conformistchapels, a focal point for isolated farming communities that in the early 1970s were closing down. He photographed in black-and-white, for its nostalgic nature and for it being appropriate to his celebratory look at this past activity.[17]Also, photographers at that time were obliged to work in black-and-white to be taken seriously, colour being associated with commercial and snapshot photography.[17]His seriesThe Non-Conformistswas widely exhibited at the time and published as a book in 2013.[19][20]CriticSean O'Hagan,writing inThe Guardian,said "It's easy to forget how quietly observational Parr was as a black-and-white photographer."[20]

In 1980 Parr married Susan Mitchell and, for her work, they moved to the west coast of Ireland. He set up a darkroom in Boyle, County Roscommon.

Parr's first publications,Bad Weather,published in 1982 by Zwemmer with anArts Councilsubsidy,Calderdale Photographs(1984) andA Fair Day: Photographs from the West Coast of Ireland(1984), all featured photographs from mostly northern England, and Ireland, in black-and-white. He used aLeica M3with a 35 mm lens;[17][21]although forBad Weatherhe quickly switched to an underwater camera with aflashgun.[22]

The working class,The Last Resort,1982–1985

edit

In 1982 Parr and his wife moved toWallasey,England, and he switched permanently to colour photography, inspired by the work of US colour photographers, mostlyJoel Meyerowitz,but alsoWilliam EgglestonandStephen Shore,and also the BritishPeter FraserandPeter Mitchell.[10]: 31 Parr has written that "I had also encountered the post cards ofJohn Hindewhen I worked at Butlin's in the early 70s and the bright saturated colour of these had a big impact on me. "[23]During the summers of 1983, 1984 and 1985[10]: 35–36 he photographed working-class people at the seaside in nearbyNew Brighton.This work was published in the bookThe Last Resort: Photographs of New Brighton(1986) and exhibited in Liverpool and London.

AlthoughJohn Bulmerhad pioneered colour documentary photography of Britain, from 1965,[24]Gerry Badgerhas said ofThe Last Resort:[25]

It is difficult from a perspective of almost a quarter of a century to underestimate [sic] the significance ofThe Last Resort,either in British photography or Martin Parr's career. For both, it represented a seismic change in the basic mode of photographic expression, from monochrome to colour, a fundamental technical change that heralded the development of a new tone in documentary photography.

Karen Wright, writing inThe Independent,has said "He was attacked by some critics for his scrutiny of the working classes, but looking at these works, one merely sees Parr's unflinching eye capturing the truth of a social class embracing leisure in whatever form available."[26]

The middle class,The Cost of Living(1987–1989)

edit

In 1985 Parr completed a commission for theDocumentary Photography Archivein Manchester to photograph people at supermarkets in Salford,Retailing in the Borough of Salford,which is now held at the archive.[27]

He and his wife moved to Bristol in 1987,[28]where they still live. During 1987 and 1988 he completed his next major project, on the middle class, who were at that time becoming increasingly affluent underThatcherism.He photographed middle-class activities such as shopping, dinner parties and school open days,[29]predominantly around Bristol and Bath[10]: 42 in the southwest of England. It was published as his next bookThe Cost of Living(1989) and exhibited in Bath, London, Oxford and Paris.

His bookOne Day Trip(1989) featured photographs taken when he accompanied people on abooze cruiseto France, a commission from Mission Photographique Transmanche.

Mass tourism,Small World(1987–1994)

edit

Between 1987 and 1994 Parr travelled internationally to make his next major series, a critique of mass tourism,[30][31][32][n 1]published asSmall Worldin 1995. A revised edition with additional photographs was published in 2007. It was exhibited in 1995–1996 in London, Paris, Edinburgh, and Palma in Spain and has continued to be shown in various locations since.

He was visiting professor of photography at theUniversity of Art and Design in Helsinkibetween 1990 and 1992.[33]

Global consumerism,Common Sense(1995–1999)

edit

Between 1995 and 1999 Parr made the seriesCommon Senseabout global consumerism.Common Sensewas an exhibition of 350 prints, and a book published in 1999 with 158 images. The exhibition was first shown in 1999 and was staged simultaneously in forty-one venues in seventeen countries.[34]The pictures depict the minutiae of consumer culture, and are intended to show the ways in which people entertain themselves. The photographs were taken with 35 mm ultra-saturated film for its vivid, heightened colours.[34]

Magnum Photos

edit

Parr joinedMagnum Photosas an associate member in 1988. The vote on his inclusion as a full member in 1994 was divisive, withPhilip Jones Griffithscirculating a plea to other members not to admit him.[35]Parr achieved the necessary two-thirds majority by one vote. Magnum membership helped him work on editorial photography,[9]and on editorial fashion photography forPaul Smith,Louis Vuitton,Galerie du jour Agnès B.andMadame Figaro.[9][10]: 60–61 [36]

In 2014 Parr was voted in as president of Magnum Photos International,[37]a post he held for 3.5 years until 2017.[38]

Collector

edit

Photobooks

edit

Parr is a collector and critic of photobooks.[39][40][41]His collaboration with the criticGerry Badger,The Photobook: A History(in three volumes) covers more than 1,000 examples of photobooks from the 19th century through to the present day. The first two volumes took eight years to complete.[4]Tate Modern's retrospective exhibition ofDaidō Moriyamain London included many Moriyama books loaned from Parr displayed in vitrines.

Other items

edit

Parr also collects postcards, photographs and various other items of vernacular and popular culture[39]such as wallpaper, Saddam Hussein watches and prostitute advertising cards from phoneboxes (items with a photograph on them).[40][42]Here too, items from his collections have been used as the basis for publications and exhibitions. Since the 1970s, Parr has collected and publicised the garish postcards made between the 1950s and 1970s by John Hinde and his team of photographers.[16]

Curator

edit

Parr was guest artistic director for the 2004Rencontres d'Arlesfestival of photography,[43]guest curator of theNew Typologiesexhibition at the 2008New York Photo Festival,[44]and guest curator ofBrighton Photo Biennialin 2010, which he calledNew Documents.[43][45]Critic Sean O'Hagan, writing inThe Guardian,said "Back in 2004, he was invited by the organisers of the annual Rencontres D'Arles to be guest curator. That year's Arles festival, in its range and ambition, remains the standard by which all subsequent Rencontres have been judged."[43]

Parr was artistic director of the newly establishedBristol Photo Festival,scheduled to open in 2021. However in July 2020 he quit, due to his involvement with a 2018 reissue of the photobookLondonby Gian Butturini, after a campaign by ananthropologystudent atUniversity College London,who called a pairing of photographs in it racist.[46][47][48][49]

Film and television

edit

Parr has been involved in making television, and documentary and other films.

From 1990 to 1992 Parr collaborated with Nick Barker, taking photographs to accompany Barker's filmSigns of the Times.

In 1997, Parr began producing his own television documentaries withMosaic Film.

In 2003 Parr was the subject of and appeared extensively in theImagineBBC One TV series episodeThe World According to Parr,directed and produced byRebecca Frayn,and hosted and executive produced byAlan Yentob.[42]

He was cameraman on the filmIt's Nice Up North(2006) with comedianGraham Fellows(as his character John Shuttleworth). The film is a comic documentary filmed over several years inShetland.[50]

In 2007 Parr took part in BBC Four'sThe Genius of Photography,a six-part documentary series exploring the history of photography.[9]In 2008 he was one of three judges on the Channel 4 seriesPicture This.[9]

In 2014 Parr created "Turkey and Tinsel", a 60-minute deadpan and often hilarious observational video documentary about faux Christmas in small town England.

Martin Parr Foundation

edit

The Martin Parr Foundation was founded in 2014. It opened premises inBristolin October 2017.[8][53]The Foundation houses Parr's own archive, and his collection of prints and book dummies made by other photographers—mainly British and Irish photography, and work by several photographers from abroad who have photographed in the UK.[8]There is a gallery open to the public—its first exhibition was Parr'sBlack Country Stories[53]—and it is a hub for talks, screenings and events.[54]The Foundation is located in Paintworks in south East Bristol. Parr is the Foundation's main source of income.[8]

Reception

edit

The German photographic curator Thomas Weski has said:[9]

Martin Parr is a chronicler of our age... Leisure, consumption and communication are the concepts that this British photographer has been researching for several decades now on his worldwide travels... Parr enables us to see things that have seemed familiar to us in a completely new way.

Dan Rule, writing inThe Age,has said:[55]

Parr's signature is his ability not only to isolate the most evocative of human details, but to elevate such visual fragments to that of the wider societal signpost or glyph.

Honours and awards

edit

Parr was appointedCommander of the Order of the British Empire(CBE) in the2021 Birthday Honoursfor services to photography.[67][68][69]

What began as a hobby has developed into a mission to change the way the history of photography is defined and understood. As a collector, he has discovered, documented and promoted previously unknown areas of photographic bookmaking.
