Untitled, 1971

Allen Jones’ edition Untitled (from Album) (1971) juxtaposes a stylized female figure with a fragmented male portrait in a vivid composition of orange and green. The seated woman, rendered in a vintage pin-up style, contrasts with the brightly coloured, abstracted male face, bringing together two distinct modes of figurative representation.
The work reflects Jones’ characteristic engagement with fashion, sexuality and popular imagery. By juxtaposing the idealized female figure with the fragmented male portrait, he creates a playful tension between glamour, identity and representation. The bold colours, graphic contours and combination of photographic and drawn elements are characteristic of Jones’ Pop Art language.
