A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"all her [Sally Mann's] strengths are on view in a deftly chosen and admirably displayed exhibition in Washington covering most of her 40-plus-year career: Sally Mann: A Thousand Crossings, at the National Gallery of Art. There, 108 images 47 of them never before exhibited and an excellent catalog provide a provocative tour through the photographer's accomplishments. It is also a record of exploration into the past, into the country s history and photography's, stamped with a powerful vision." --NY Times

"Photographer Sally Mann has been taking haunting images of the American South for more than four decades. This 320-page volume collects the sweep of her work through portraits, still lifes, and landscapes." --New York Magazine online

"Virginia-born Sally Mann has not strayed from her home turf and, over a 40-plus-year professional life, her photographic signature has remained constant: a southern gothic sensibility imbued with a heavy tincture of romanticism. A Thousand Crossings showcases her achievement and includes work never seen in print before." The Irish Times

"A Thousand Crossings and its catalog represent a large portion of Mann's multifaceted oeuvre. It is by turns tender, light-hearted, sun-dappled, epic, allusive, burdened, scarred, mournful, dark, mindful, exploratory, expiatory, commemorative, introspective, conciliatory, and wise." --New York Review of Books

Présentation de l'éditeur

For more than four decades, Sally Mann has made experimental, elegiac, and hauntingly beautiful photographe that explore the overarching themes of existence : memory, desire, death, the bonds of family, and nature's magisterial indifference to human endeavor. What unites this broad body of work―including figure studies, landscapes, and architectural views―is that it is all bred of a place, the American South. Fully immersed in its literary and visual culture, Mann― a native of Lexington, Virginia― has long written about what it means to live in the South and to be identified as a southerner. Using her deep love of her homeland and her knowledge of its fraught heritage, she asks powerful, provocative questions―about history, identity, race, and religion―that reverberate across geographic and national boundaries. Presenting essays both personal and scholarly, this richly illustrated monograph constitutes an in-depth exploration of the evolution of Mann's art, with more than one hundred photographs, including several previously unpublished ones. Sally Mann : A Thousand Crossings considers how Mann's relationship with her native land has shaped her work and how the legacy of the South―as both homeland and graveyard, refuge and battleground ― continues to inform American identity and experience.
