Allen Jones : Prints
1995168538Munich and New York: Prestel 1995. Hardcover. New. Grey cloth with white color-illustrated dustjacket. Prints form an integral part of Allen Jones's creative processes and are as important to him as painting and sculpture. It is therefore scarcely surprising that ever since his student days he has produced a steady stream of graphic works mainly lithographs but also screenprints and some etchings. Centring on the human figure Jones's images exude a guilt-free eroticism and an unrestrained joie de vivre rare in British art. Sometimes misinterpreted as sexist this imagery like that of Derek Boshier David Hockney R.B. Kitaj and Peter Phillips Jones's contemporaries at the Royal College of Art London in the early 1960s is both a eulogy and a critique of consumerism. This book published to coincide with a travelling exhibition of the artist's prints is the first complete catalogue of Jones's work in this field. Containing reproductions of all the artist's graphics many of them photographed specially for the occasion it celebrates over thirty-five years of a major artist's activity as a master printmaker. Published to accompany an exhibition of Allen Jones's prints opening at the Barbican Art Gallery London on 12 April 1995. Prestel hardcover books
