The Last Resort: Photographs of New Brighton
€ 900,00
Casual visitor admiring Martin Parr`s colorful photos of fat, lethargic, and relaxed British vacationers on Brighton would never understand the controversy and critical derision that surrounded them when they were first displayed in 1986. Even today, one might be tempted to dismiss the controversy as a peculiar and parochial moment rather than a defining watershed for British photography.
The Last Resort: Photographs of New Brighton is a seminal work by British photographer Martin Parr. Published in 1986, it captures the garish reality and lived-out dreams of visitors to the former fashionable resort of New Brighton on the Wirral coast. The book presents paradoxes of contemporary life through detailed tableaux of 'refulgent flesh' and seaside decay. It is widely considered a defining watershed for British documentary photography, marking Parr's transition into international recognition.
