Allen Jones
UK
Born in 1937, Allen Jones is one of the leading figures in British pop art. He studied painting and lithography in London from 1955 to 1960, and eventually created a new medium that was halfway between the three-dimensionality of painting and pure sculptural forms, and sought to free himself from the constraints of the two-dimensionality and rectangularity of the canvas. Several residencies in the United States had a strong influence on his work, including the advertising, illustration and sales methods of new products, and the emergence of American Pop Art. Jones is well known for his erotic depictions of women, and in particular his work "Hatstand, Table, and Chair," which has not only attracted the attention of contemporary feminists, but continues to raise more universal questions about morality and what it means to be a woman.
