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
"This book was started as a memoir of my mother and subsequently developed into something more like a diary, covering my recollections of a post-war childhood in Worcestershire, an art-school education and subsequent obsessions.

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.
