The Body in Contemporary Art
After some consideration, saving and an extra bookshelf, I’ve decided to expand my book collection. So this week I’ve been on Amazon finding a new book. Having flicked through a few I settled for ‘The Body in Contemporary Art’, Sally O’Reilly, it was the pretty simple, eye-catching cover that influenced my decision. I’ve always been fascinated with the use of the human body in contemporary art, in particular, Jenny Saville and this book really brings it into the modern day, using many different medium, comparing her work to that of Dorota Sadovska.
