Jenny Saville
b. 1970 · British
Jenny Saville became known in the 1990s for monumental paintings of bodies rendered with thick paint, compressed perspective and an unidealized attention to flesh. Her later work increasingly layers drawing and multiple figures while engaging art history and photography.
