MARTIN PARR (1952- ) WE ARE SO HAPPY. 2000. 31 1/2x39 1/4 inches, 80x99 3/4 cm. Magnum Photos. Condition A-: minor abrasions in image. Martin Parr was a pioneer of documentary photography in England who established his reputation through an uncomfortable but incisive series of images of British culture. His style of social commentary, which emphasized the mundane and overlooked aspects of society, are both culturally observant as well as, often times, compromising and unpleasant. In 1995, he joined Magnum Photos, the member photographer-owned cooperative. Magnum took part in the enormous "Brussels 2000" cultural project, for which their photographers contributed posters to an outdoor exhibit entitled, "We are so Happy."
