Painter Egon Schiele (1890 - 1918) produced his main body of work within the space of ten years. His famous nudes probed unwaveringly the existential core of human experience. This paintings of Jenny Saville are no less intensely physical and confrontational than Schiele's. This catalogue brings together the works of these two artists for the first time, revealing stylistic and thematic affinities in their body-landscapes and portraits - despite the decades separating their work and the difference in their brushwork. The paintings and drawings of both artists lend the body an insistent corporeality. In Schiele's usually small-format self-portraits, the pose, the accentuated view from below and gestural style give the images an impact equal to the forceful punch of Saville's giant forms.

Egon Schiele - Jenny Saville

Elisabeth Hutton Turner

The sculptor Alexander Calder (1898-1976) and the painter Joan Miró (1893-1983) first met in Paris in 1928 and became life-long friends. This original and visually stunning book places the mobile sculptures of Calder alongside the poetical paintings of Miró and provides fresh insights into the visual dialogue between these two artists. What did the painter see in the sculptor? What did the sculptor see in the painter? These questions are answered through an extensive examination of the exchange of artwork and correspondence between the two artists, maintained across two continents and through the turmoil of war.
