What They're Saying
Critics Review
Poignant, deeply personal … It includes the stories behind some of Parr’s most iconic photographs, all told with his signature dry humor … Utterly Lazy and Inattentive reflects how Parr approached photography — and life — with infinite wonder and curiosity * The New York Times *Gorgeous … I loved Parr’s emphasis on recording the everyday, which is boring at the time, and then precious afterwards, when it’s gone. It’s just what I hope to do with writing, and treasure in reading – Tessa Hadley- - Praise for Martin Parr * - *Martin Parr is a genius * W Magazine *Martin Parr is the quintessential anorak * Prospect *Martin Parr is the ultimate chronicler of Englishness * VICE *Martin Parr is the Jay-Z of documentary photography * Star Tribune *Like any successful spy, Martin Parr is the sort of guy you wouldn’t look at twice if you passed him in the street * The Times *Martin Parr is the emperor of bad taste – Vicki GoldbergLike all great artists, Martin Parr has altered how we see the world – Grayson Perry
