This volume is dedicated to the work of Jenny Saville (Cambridge, 1970), one of the greatest contemporary painters and a leading voice on the international art scene.

Saville transcends the boundaries between figurative and abstract, between informal and gestural, managing to transfigure the chronicle into a universal image, which puts the human figure back at the centre of art history—huge, naked bodies, with a carnal physicality and oppressed by a weight that is more existential than material.
Seville links up with the great European pictorial tradition in constant dialogue with the modernism of Willem de Kooning and Cy Twombly, and the portraiture of Pablo Picasso and Francis Bacon. Her artworks also draw a strong correlation with the masters of the Italian Renaissance, in particular with some of Michelangelo’s greatest masterpieces.
The volume includes a rich catalogue of paintings and drawings created by the artist from the 90s up to the present day.
