Last year I visited the exhibition "The Family and the Land" of Sally Mann in The Hague. Mann's portraits of her children offer the bliss and the gloom of childhood. Naked, bruised, defiant these unsanitized portrayals of youth incited a fair amount of controversy and censorship. In response to claims of child pornography, exploitation, or parental neglect, Mann simply defended her work as the perspective of motherhood.
