Jenny Saville – the Anatomy of Painting

Jenny Saville’s large-scale depictions of the human form are a celebration of flesh and paint, figure and abstraction. ‘Jenny Saville’ brings together works from across the artist’s career, ranging from pencil drawings to monumental paintings in oil. The British artist Jenny Saville is one of today’s leading painters, for whom painting the human body gives the artist ‘the possibility to work in both an abstract and figurative way’. This book accompanies Saville’s first major museum exhibition, showcasing over 50 works from throughout her career in a broadly chronological framework.
