Jenny Saville.
Propped 
1992
Jenny Saville is a great inspiration to many including myself, she is none for her outstanding painting that move people all over the world.. In every painting Jenny Saville ever fails to capture moment, tones and depth in every brush stroke, her creativity and feminist personally has always admired me. This painting called Propped, Painted in 1992 captured my eyes, the flesh tones in her skin are beautifully painted the way she had used different coloured paint to show depth instead of using the same tones on flesh colours show moment in the human body.
The painting shows there is a uncomfortable and awkward position the way she is sitting a stool that her legs are tightly warped around the stool holding on for safety. Her head titled back portray that he neck or back is feeling painful and the muscles in her neck are tense which shows discomfort, her facial expresses looks quite unhappy the half opened eyes make me feel like she is fed up. Her hands scratching into her legs holding onto each ripple in the skin makes me feel very uncomfortable and that her thighs are a issues for her. she has tightly pressed against her chest making herself hide away her body which seems to be difficult to hide.
Many people say this painting is ''gross'' however this is shown by the way you are looking at it, a larger women on a stool which is smaller that her body weight is not gross. To me Jenny Saville painted this to make other people have their opinion, This women might be happy with her body but others with certain issues with their own body see that she is scratching into her skin as a sign of hating it, however it could also mean she is just holding it to show, this is me.!
