Jenny Saville: the anatomy of painting

  • Alternate title

    Anatomy of painting

Abstract

"Jenny Saville's large-scale depictions of the human form are a celebration of flesh and paint, figure and abstraction. Jenny Saville: The Anatomy of Painting brings together works from across the artist's career, ranging from pencil drawings to monumental paintings in oil. Essays consider the development of Saville's practice, marking key moments and the strong connection she makes to art history, while a conversation with the artist gives us a glimpse into her life in the studio, her working methods and influences"-- back cover.
