Plan

Jenny Saville, Plan (1993). Oil on canvas, 274 x 213cm.

Jenny Saville's Plan, created in 1993, is a striking embodiment of her approach to redefining the portrayal of the female form in contemporary art. This analysis aims to delve into the various elements that make Plan a significant work in the realm of modern art and feminist discourse.

The Visual Narrative:

Plan presents a large-scale depiction of a female nude, a subject traditionally associated with beauty and idealization. However, Saville subverts these conventions by presenting a figure that is unapologetically raw and real. The body is marked with lines and contours, reminiscent of surgical markings, which demarcate areas of the flesh. These lines speak to the societal pressures on women to conform to certain physical standards, echoing the invasive nature of cosmetic surgery.

Technique and Style:

Saville's use of oil on canvas is notable for its thick, tactile application, giving the painting a visceral quality that emphasizes the physicality of the body. The exaggerated scale of the work, measuring 274 x 213 cm, confronts the viewer with its imposing presence, making it impossible to ignore or diminish the subject's physicality.

Influences and Inspirations:

Saville's work is heavily influenced by a range of artists, from the voluptuous figures of Peter Paul Rubens to the raw, emotional intensity of Lucian Freud. Yet, she transcends these influences by challenging the traditional male gaze in art, offering a perspective that is deeply rooted in the realities of the female experience.

Feminist Undertones:

Plan resonates with feminist ideas, particularly those related to body politics and the societal scrutiny of female bodies. Saville's work is informed by feminist theories and writers, exploring themes of identity, autonomy, and the complexity of the female experience. The painting becomes a powerful statement against the idealized, often unrealistic standards imposed on women's bodies.

A Canvas for Thought:

How does Jenny Saville's Plan challenge your perceptions of beauty and the representation of the female form in art? What does this painting evoke in you regarding the societal expectations placed on women's bodies?

TECHNICAL DREAMING - original art

$900.00

Inspired by a random basquiat piece, I decided to replace elements of the painting with my own objects while retaining the original symmetry between objects in the original paitning.

I would classify this as #PopSurrealism

Art History #11 — Female Identity // 22.12.20

Propped is a superlative self-portrait by Jenny Saville, first displayed at her degree show in Edinburgh in May, 1992. The painting displays an exposed woman adjusted on a high stool in front of a mirror, with the words “If we continue to speak in this sameness — speak as men have spoken for centuries, we will fail each other” facing towards her. The combination of vulnerability, independence and message within this portrait demonstrates Saville’s intention to diminish several propositions: society’s toxic beauty standards, sexist ideals, and the relentless male convention of female nudity (with a specific focus on cultural aversion to corpulence).

In the artist’s words, “I’m interested in the power a large female body has – a body that occupies a lot of physical space, but also someone who’s acutely aware that our contemporary culture encourages her to disguise her bulk and look as small as possible”, her paintings present the viewer with a dichotomy; there is an intense sense of vulnerability that permeates Saville’s subjects, and yet their large size belies this impression of fragility. The portrait is ultimately painted in such a way to counteract these stubborn stereotypes and ideals — Saville is successfully able to promote inclusitivioty and interrogate prescribed notions of beauty. Additionally, for a young woman, at the time, to insert herself into the male canon of nude paintings was highly audacious. It was extremely rare for women to paint the female nude with such candour, and they instead simply painted their subjects clothes. Saville’s intentions of carving out a space for herself in a very male dominated field is clear, especially since the primary subject in early works is herself — there is significance to this choice. Her work, therefore, would not only have been influential through its inherent message of body acceptance, but also due to her bold denial of sexist rules. She reinvented society's expectations in several ways, and in doing so suggested a more feminist, fair viewpoint.

A drawing by Jenny Saville is available to collectors around the world in our Art Basel 2018 Online Viewing Room. Saville’s work has long blurred the boundaries between classical figuration and modern abstraction. Her depictions reveal a deep awareness of how the body has been represented over time and across cultures. Currently on view at Gagosian in New York, “Study for Twins” depicts two nude female figures seated atop a simple pedestal. Their limbs become so entangled that it is difficult to distinguish where one body ends and the other begins. For more information, pricing and live assistance, visit Gagosian Online Viewing Room.  ________ Jenny Saville, "Study for Twins," 2017, pencil and graphite stick on paper, 60 1/8 × 47 7/8 inches (152.5 × 121.5 cm) © Jenny Saville

‘I want people to know what it is they’re looking at. But at the same time, the closer they get to the painting, it’s like going back into childhood. It’s an abstract piece - it’s becomes the landscape of the brush marks rather than sort of an intellectual landscape’ -Jenny Saville 🎨 . . . . #jennysaville #painting #contemporaryart #art #abstract #scotland #edinburgh #nationalgalleryscotland #gagosiangallery @gagosian @jennysavilleart @jenny_saville_art (at Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art)
