Martin Parr
Early Works
“We are quite an eccentric nation, and the wryness of observation that Tony Ray-Jones did so well was something I aspired to myself,” Parr says. “There is a humour and there is always a tragedy – especially at the seaside. It always feels slightly sad in a sense. They’re all meant to be jolly but they’re often quite run down. So that contradiction and ambiguity I very much like.”
