I am Martin Parr

 

Monday 16th November 7.30pm in the Garden Room

 

Martin Parr was a divisive figure in the world of documentary photography when he first joined the renowned cooperative picture agency Magnum in 1994. His colourful images depicting social scenes in Britain and Ireland were at odds with the traditional black and white depictions of serious world events. This is a revealing and affectionate portrait of the man behind the controversy who later became President of Magnum.

 

Meet for (self-paid) supper in the Members’ Bar or Terrace from 6.30pm.
Art Group members and Club Members free. Guests £5.
Please pay in cash on arrival.
