Allen Jones Works
Top-shelf magazine meets fine art; high-heeled, fetishistic women parade through a world of Matissean colour. Allen Jones is one of the most controversial figures in the art world. Tackling the issues of gender and power raised by his work, and including images of Jones's source material and his own photography, this is the first publication to survey his career. As well as investigating his fine-art work, this publication looks at other aspects of his career - his work for the theatre, ballet and film - and reveals an artist who, having been influenced by the world of fashion, has seen his work appropriated by the fashion world -- Dustjacket.

Allen Jones
A leading exponent of British Pop art, Allen Jones (born 1937) played a decisive role in the figurative art of the 1960s. This catalogue features more than 20 new oil paintings by the artist. The works portray figures on a stage of light, achieving a sensuously ecstatic fusion of bodies and color spaces.
Allen Jones
One of the pioneers in the sixties and seventies, with his unconventional, provocative works Allen Jones (*1937 in Southampton) had a major influence on the radical change that took place in modern art. His famous Furniture Sculptures--realistic-looking female figures made of fiberglass and steel--continue to mark the artist's sensational, spirited rejection of intellectually overburdened abstract art in favor of triviality and the reality of everyday life. The female form, especially the legs, became Jones's favorite leitmotif, imprinted on the contemporary collective memory and declaring the passion and eroticism between man and woman as an aesthetic principle. Jones succeeded in overcoming the two-dimensional, something his entire oeuvre strives for, through the human body. This publication demonstrates that his work also always questions the lifestyle of today's society and its penchant for mass consumption.

Matisse in the Studio
Published to accompany the Royal Academy exhibition 'Matisse in the Studio', this book is the first in English to explore the essential role that Henri Matisse's personal collection of objects played in his studio practice. Featured frequently in the modern master's bold paintings, drawings, and cut-outs, and influencing the development of his work in sculpture, Matisse's objects formed a secret history hiding in plain sight. Works that span the artist's entire career are presented here alongside the objects that inspired them, from Asian vases and African masks to intricate textiles from the Islamic world. With lush illustrations and archival images, Matisse in the Studio provides exceptional insights into the world of the artist at work.
