Hold Still
Where does the impulse to create come from? What are the forces that shape an artist's work? This ground-breaking memoir, a unique interplay of narrative and image, charts the making of one of America's greatest artists. As Sally Mann tells her story, her work's preoccupation with family, race, mortality, and the storied landscape of the American South is revealed as almost genetically predetermined, written into her DNA by the family history that precedes her.Sorting through boxes of family papers and yellowed photographs she finds more than she bargained for: "deceit and scandal, alcohol, domestic abuse, car crashes, bogeymen, clandestine affairs, dearly loved and disputed family land . . . racial complications, vast sums of money made and lost, the return of the prodigal son, and maybe even bloody murder."In lyrical prose and startlingly revealing photographs, she crafts a totally original form of personal history that has the page-turning drama of a great novel but is firmly rooted in the fertile soil of her own experience. This is the record of an artist's life, and a meditation on place, people, family, and the nature of creativity itself.

Art Work
Art Work, by photographer and writer Sally Mann, offers a spellbinding mix of wild and illuminating stories, practical (and some impractical) advice, and life lessons for artists and writers-or anyone interested in the creative path. Written in the same frank, 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.

Der performative Akt in der Kunst. Eine Analyse der Werk-Betrachter-Beziehung
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich Kunst - Fotografie und Film, Note: 1,3, Berliner Technische Kunsthochschule Hochschule für Gestaltung, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In dieser Arbeit stellt sich die Frage, auf welcher Grundlage sich Werke analysieren lassen und welche Position dafür angenommen werden muss, wenn die Intention des Werkes nicht gleich die Intention des Künstlers oder Fotografen persönlich ist. Während des Studiums wird ein immenser Zeitaufwand betrieben, um sich über die eigene Intention bei seinen Werken klar zu werden. Eine Intention, welche sich jedoch oftmals im eigentlichen Werk nicht wiedererkennen lässt. Die Absichten des Künstlers sind so individuell und privat, dass sie sich aus dem Blickwinkel des Betrachters ohne biografische Studien undgroßes Hintergrundwissen nicht herauslesen lassen.Roland Barthes unterteilt die Fotografie in drei Tätigkeiten, den operator (den Fotografen), das spectrum (das Fotografierte) und den spectator (den Betrachter). Dadurch, dass er selbst keinen Zugang zu den Gefühlsregungen des operator hat, entscheidet Barthes sich zu einer Beschränkung auf spectrum und spectator: "Nur zwei Erfahrungen standen mir zu Gebote: die des betrachtenden und die des betrachtenden Subjekts."So wie Barthes ergeht es vielen Betrachtern von Kunstwerken: Man kann keinerlei Bezug zum Künstler herstellen, man hat ihn nie kennengelernt, weiß nichts von ihm und hat selbst keine eigene künstlerische Herkunft. Für wen macht man Kunst, wen möchte man erreichen? Fotografien sollten für alle Menschen dieser Welt gleichermaßen schlüssig sein. Sie sollten die Gesellschaft als solches erreichen und nicht die Künstlerelite, welche schlussendlich die geringe Minderheit der Welt darstellt. Es sollte nicht notwendig sein, sich erst mit dem Künstler auseinanderzusetzen, bevor man sich mit dem Werk auseinandersetzen kann.
