This volume spans Saville's illustrious career, showcasing sixty paintings and drawings, many of which have not previously been displayed in public.
Jenny Saville, an original member of the acclaimed Young British Artists, is one of today's leading painters. Her large-scale portraits and nudes challenge accepted ideals of beauty and celebrate the human form. Published to coincide with a major international exhibition, this handsome retrospective is designed to be accessible and appeal to a broad audience. In-depth essays evaluate Saville's development of her technique, marking key moments and her strong connections to art history and the influence of forerunners including Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Titian, Velázquez, Van Dyck, and Rembrandt, as well as twentieth-century artists Picasso, De Kooning, Bacon, Freud, and Auerbach. Spanning the full spectrum of her career, this volume includes around sixty paintings and drawings, many on a monumental scale, as well as many that have never previously been published.Author Biography
