Descriere de la vânzător
Hardback with dust jacket
240x200mm
168 pages, 90 B&W photographs
CONDITION:
Medium format hardback in fine condition, signed by Martin Parr.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Originally photographed in the Calder Valley, West Yorkshire, between 1975 and 1980, The Non‑Conformists represents Martin Parr’s earliest sustained body of work and a foundational project within British documentary photography. The series records the rituals, interiors, and social life of nonconformist chapel communities at a moment of cultural transition and decline.
Published by Aperture in 2013, this edition brings renewed attention to Parr’s early black‑and‑white practice, characterised by close observation, formal restraint, and an acute sensitivity to social detail. While rooted in the British documentary tradition, the work already signals Parr’s emerging authorial voice and his sustained interest in class, community, and everyday life. Long regarded as a key work in the artist’s oeuvre, The Non‑Conformists stands as an important precursor to Parr’s later, more widely recognised colour photography.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Martin Parr (1952-2025) is a British photographer renowned for his incisive examination of social class, leisure, and consumer culture. Emerging from the British documentary tradition, Parr first gained recognition for his early black‑and‑white work before achieving international prominence with his adoption of colour photography in the 1980s. A member of Magnum Photos, and its president from 2013 to 2017, Parr published numerous influential photobooks and exhibited widely. His work is held in major public collections worldwide, including Tate, London, and the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
