jenny saville
first edition, scarce, 2011.
published on the occasion of the exhibition at the norton museum of art, this catalog charts the development of british painter jenny saville (born 1970) from her breakthrough in the early '90s to her recent works in 2011. the exhibition, saville’s first u.s. museum survey, was part of the norton museum's recognition of art by women series and later traveled to modern art oxford.
featuring a rich selection of paintings, works on paper, and photographs from the artist’s studio, the book offers an in-depth view of her bold and provocative depictions of the human body—particularly the female form. iconic early works such as "propped" (1992) are presented alongside more recent pieces exploring motherhood and the body.
brutvan’s essay "a woman who paints," examines saville’s feminist approach and cultural representations of the female body, while nicholas cullinan’s “the anatomy lesson” contextualizes her work within art history, referencing figures like rembrandt, de kooning, and freud. additional features include a foreword by hope alswang, a chronology, and selected lists of exhibitions, publications, and reviews.
