Maison Européenne de la Photographie

The MEP is dedicating a huge retrospective to Martin Parr. The English photographer, a member of the Magnum photo agency, is one of the most influential photographers working today. His trademark style is screaming colors and biting irony. The MEP also presents Parr's work from the 70's in black and white which few have seen. For those who like Martin Parr, the Bon Marché department store is also showing Parr's work in fashion in its Rive Gauche store. A good complement to the MEP retrospective.
