Sally
Mann's Immediate Family
de Mann
Book
Description
"Mann's subjects are her small children (a boy, a girl, and a new
baby), often shot when they're sick or hurt or just naked. Nosebleeds,
cuts, hives, chicken pox, swollen eyes, vomiting--the usual trials of
childhood--can be alarmingly beautiful, thrillingly sensual moments
in Mann's portrait album. Her ambivalence about motherhood--her delight
and despair--pushes Mann to delve deeper into the steaming mess of family
life than most of us are willing to go. What she comes up with is astonishing."
--Vince Aletti, The Village Voice "Immediate Family, which was
published in 1990, must be counted as one of the great photograph books
of our time. It is a singularly powerful evocation of childhood from
within and without ..." --Luc Sante, The New Republic Afterword
