Copyright© Allen JonesMore Information
From the 1960s, Allen Jones was associated with the second generation of British Pop artists. His early works exhibit a combination of stylistic approaches, mixing linearity with colorful, painterly abstraction. Jones's Concerning Marriage series is thought to reflect his interest in Carl Jung's and Frederich Nietzsche's theories regarding gender and the creative act.
