Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This catalogue brings together the work of seminal Austrian painter Egon Schiele (1890-1918) and young British artist Jenny Saville for the first time. Revealed is the stylistic and thematic proximity of the body-landscapes and portraits by the two young "stars". The paint ings and drawings of both artists lend the human body an insistent corporeality, which is rendered in every detail. In Schiele's self-portraits, usually small-format works, the pose, the accentuated view from below, and gestural style give the images a visual impact equal to the forceful punch of Saville's giant formats.
