For decades, photographer Sally Mann has chronicled her family and her environs in Lexington, Va., in black-and-white images that are often freighted with the echoes of time and fraught histories. Times art critic Christopher Knight reviews the artist’s retrospective, “A Thousand Crossings,” on view at the Getty Museum. Among her most successful images, he writes, are the large-format pictures she takes of Civil War battlefields: “Staring into darkness to parse what you see is not a bad way to describe the act of coming to terms with a defining national event, which still churns today’s social and political environment.” Los Angeles Times
