ALLEN JONES

1937-

British master painter, printmaker, designer and sculptor, Allen Jones is regarded as one of the leading artists of the POP movement.

Trained at the Hornsey College of Art and the Royal College of Art, Jones was one of the exponents of the popular Young Contemporaries exhibition.

He was criticized and at the same time admired for his life-size sculptors depicting women in fetish apparel for his “High Definition Female Parts”-where sculptures depicting women served as furniture.

In 1969, he designed the sets and costumes for the legendary show “OH! CALCUTTA!”
