Sally Mann's Art Work is a deeply personal meditation on the creative process, drawing from her decades as one of America's most celebrated photographers. Mann explores the tensions between art and life, family and ambition, success and doubt, revealing the messy, unglamorous reality behind making meaningful work. More than a memoir, the book becomes a philosophical investigation into what it costs to live a creative life and why we do it anyway.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Mann refuses to romanticize the creative life. She shows us that making art is hard, often painful work that demands everything, and that the rewards are rarely what we expect. This is a book for anyone who's ever wondered if the struggle is worth it.
