Reviews
"The British artist Jenny Saville is best known for painting monumental close-ups of large nude women exposing things that are usually left unshown: flab, fat, bulge. Her works are sometimes likened to those of Peter Paul Rubens. Among artists of her generation, Ms. Saville is unusual in her devotion to figurative painting. For her most recent art she has abandoned flesh tones and uses a charcoal palette." -the New York Times , "The British artist Jenny Saville is best known for painting monumental close-ups of large nude women exposing things that are usually left unshown: flab, fat, bulge.

Synopsis
Oxyrhynchus is a city in upper Egypt that was established in 332 BC and is considered one of the most important archaeological sites ever discovered. Saville references the layer upon layer of discoveries at Oxyrhynchus in her new body of work, the final effect being a mysterious narrative of layered bodies and images. The dozen new works presented are a combination of oil, charcoal, and pastel on canvas and a combination of landscape and figures weaving throughout each other., Several new works are inspired by the ancient Egyptian rubbish dump at Oxyrhynchus, one of the most important archeological sites ever discovered. Heaps of discarded documents and literature, incredibly preserved in the area's dry climate, are now invaluable; fragments of ancient Greek texts such as Euclid's Elements and the poems of Sappho are among the excavated papyri. Saville alludes to this history through a deep layering of paired subjects: faces, torsos, and limbs overlap with shadows and reflections, palimpsests of living bodies and ancestral apparitions. Silhouettes drawn in charcoal through the surfaces of oil paint underscore the motion of the central embracing figures, while evoking the timeless human process of sketching. These intermediate "studies" echo the shifting status of the unearthed papers--once discarded, now treasured. Time is further compressed by Saville's adaptation of various historical approaches to portraiture, from De Kooning's fluid abstractions of the female figure; to the almost combined couples of Picasso's late paintings and Japanese Shunga prints; to Titian's placement of subjects within dramatic perspectival landscapes, exemplified by Nymph and Shepherd (c. 1570-75). Saville's own figures merge ethereally with settings that have been loosely appropriated from photographs and evoke the backdrops of Renaissance paintings. Jenny Saville was born in Cambridge, England in 1970. She studied at the Glasgow School of Art. She has had several solo museum exhibitions, from the Museo d'Arte Contemporanea, Rome (2005), to "Eroi," at the Galleriad'Arte Moderna, Torino, Italy (2011).

- s***a (21)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoI purchased multiple books from this seller, and this was a great experience! Each book was listed at a great price! Everything was shipped out quickly, and arrived only a few days after that. The book was packaged appropriately as well. The condition of the book was even better than what was listed, as it looked almost brand new, rather than the “very good” that was stated. I absolutely would buy from this seller again!
