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 abstract expressionism?
Abstract Expressionism is an art movement that emerged in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s. Characterized by large, abstract canvases, the movement emphasized spontaneous, expressive brushwork and the use of color and form to convey emotion rather than represent reality. Artists like Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning are key figures in this movement. Abstract Expressionism marked a shift in the art world, making New York City a center of the international art scene.
