" A big and beautiful gift-worthy holiday art book" (New York Times) , this new book by artist Sally Mann about the challenges and transcendent pleasures of the creative process, is now a New York Times bestseller. "Erudite, frank, and funny." --Amor Towles, bestselling author of A Gentleman in Moscow and The Lincoln Highway Offering a spellbinding mix of wild and illuminating stories, practical (and some impractical) advice, and life lessons, Art Work , by photographer and writer Sally Mann, is not to be missed. Written in the same direct, fearless, and occasionally outrageous tone of her bestselling memoir, Hold Still , this new book reaffirms Mann as a unique and resonant voice for our times and is destined to become a classic. Illustrated throughout with photographs, journal entries, and letters that bring immediacy and poignancy to the narrative, Art Work is full of thought-provoking insights about the hazards of early promise; the unpredictable role of luck; the value of work, work, work, and more hard work; the challenges of rejection and distraction; the importance of risk-taking; and the rewards of knowing why and when you say yes. In sparkling prose and thoughtfully juxtaposed visuals and ephemera, Art Work is a generous, provocative, and compulsively readable exploration of creativity by one of our most original thinkers.
