2 Sheets - Upper sheet signed 'Allen', lower sheet signed 'Jones' - Printed by Emile Matthieu, Zurich, co-published by Editions Alecto, London and Arts Moderna, Basel - Literature Richard Lloyd, Allen Jones Prints, Prestel, Munich/New York, 1995, no. 48 a-g, p. 118 // Allen Jones' 'Life Class, Title Page' is a 1968 lithograph that exemplifies his provocative and playful approach to pop art. The image features a striking female figure, rendered with exaggerated, curvaceous forms, sitting against a vibrant background split into geometric color sections—yellow, orange, green, and pink. The figure, wearing a blue skirt and high stockings, appears almost like a mannequin, with a surreal expression and a disjointed, fragmented composition. The bold, bright color palette and stylized rendering highlight Jones’ exploration of gender, objectification, and the intersection of art and sexuality. This lithograph is a commentary on the voyeuristic gaze and the tension between high art and popular culture.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
