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.
