Jenny Saville at the National Portrait Gallery review — a must-see tribute
J enny Saville arrived in art with the loudest splash I can remember. One moment she was invisible, the next she was unmissable: a huge talent, painting huge pictures, of a huge subject, in a hugely different manner. Everyone noticed her. This was early in the 1990s and chiefly the handiwork of Charles Saatchi, the most impactful collector Britain has probably produced. Saatchi changed art. He spotted young talents, supported them and displayed them. He was the reason the YBAs happened. He unleashed Saville on us when she was barely out of art school. Her debut at Saatchi's Boundary Road gallery was seismic. It was as if three genres of art — the nude, the self-portrait, the symbolic female monument — were being reinvented by a student from the Glasgow School of Art. She was only 22. Yet here she was taking on swathes of art history with feminist ferocity and doing it brilliantly. The dollops of Rembrantian self-doubt she added to the recipe served to enlarge its impact. Wow.
