All this Miley uproar has me thinking about young flesh in other contexts. I started a list last week in my head of the art I would buy if I were flush, and Sally Mann was at the top of it. I fell in love with her Immediate Family work years ago, and it still does it for me. Anyone have an extra copy of that book lying around? Below is the diptych entitled Jessie at 12.
Of course, Sally Mann’s work has generated a fair bit of controversy as well; Pat Robertson even got in on the action at one point, going on the record in a documentary on Mann, saying: “Selling photographs of children naked for profit is immoral.” And you know, I think it can be. It’s a slippery slope, and I think conditions get most icy and dangerous when large amounts of money are involved. Shocker.
Eh Tu, Mickey Mouse?
