Jenny Saville

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.
