EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "French housewife Mrs Maria Quaranta at the local supermarket, shopping for food" we are transported back to April 1975 in France. The image beautifully captures a slice of everyday life as Mrs Maria Quaranta, an elegant French housewife, navigates the bustling aisles of her neighborhood supermarket. With grace and poise, she carefully selects fresh produce and essential groceries from neatly stacked shelves. Her keen eye for quality is evident as she inspects each item before placing it into her cart. The vibrant colors of fruits and vegetables create a vivid contrast against the backdrop of busy shoppers and shopkeepers attending to their duties. As we observe Mrs Quaranta's shopping experience, we catch glimpses of other women engrossed in their own quests for sustenance. Their presence adds a sense of camaraderie and community within this lively marketplace. The photograph also showcases the era's fashion trends with its depiction of stylishly dressed women donning chic attire popular during the 1970s in Europe. It serves as a visual time capsule that transports us back to an era when supermarkets were becoming increasingly prevalent in daily life. Through John Varley's lens, this snapshot encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also reflects on the changing dynamics between tradition and modernity within French society during that period.
