Written in the same frank, fearless, and occasionally outrageous tone of her bestselling memoir, \u003ci\u003eHold Still\u003c\/i\u003e, this new book reaffirms Mann as a unique and resonant voice for our times and is destined to become a classic. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Illustrated throughout with photographs, journal entries, and letters that bring immediacy and poignancy to the narrative, \u003ci\u003e Art Work \u003c\/i\u003eis 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, \u003ci\u003eArt Work\u003c\/i\u003e is a generous, provocative, and compulsively readable exploration of creativity by one of our most original thinkers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sally Mann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1419780719\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781419780714\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Abrams Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/02\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Sally Mann","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46739225706751,"sku":"9781419780714","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_be6730f7-1fcd-4a9d-9ce4-07c9fa7aa922.jpg?v=1743277580","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/art-work-sally-mann-9781419780714","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
