Book Description: The celebrated photographer and social commentator Martin Parr follows up the Boring Postcards series with a new installment of his bizarre postcard collection. Produced in the countries of the Southern Europe during the 1970s, these cards show shamelessly idealized photographs of romantic lovers frolicking in the hills, holding hands in the sunset, staring dreamily into each others eyes; and of perfect families greeting Dad home from work, in the kitchen baking a cake with Mom, singing together at the piano. . . . Originating as domestic 'icons' rooted in Catholic religious tradition, these images show the Mediterranean equivalents of the Brady Bunch. Both a revealing social historical document and hilariously funny, they will appeal to all connoisseurs of photographic kitsch. |
