The volume is dedicated to the work of Jenny Saville (Cambridge,
1970), one of the greatest contemporary painters and a leading
voice in the international art scene. Saville transcends the limits
between figurative and abstract, between informal and gestural,
managing to transfigure the news into a universal image, which puts
the human figure at the center of the history of art. Huge, naked
bodies, with a carnal physicality and oppressed by a weight that is
more existential than material, Saville is linked to the great
European pictorial tradition in constant comparison with the
modernism of Willem de Kooning and Cy Twombly and the portraiture
of Pablo Picasso and Francis Bacon. Her work also outlines a strong
correlation with the masters of the Italian Renaissance, in
particular with some of Michelangelo’s great masterpieces.Â
The volume contains a rich catalogue of paintings and drawings from
the 1990s to today.
