The work of Allen Jones is regarded as the embodiment of British Pop. Jones is perhaps best known as a painter and printmaker of uniquely sophisticated and brilliantly coloured canvases, which are ambiguous mixture of abstract and figurative elements and also of flat, graphic and solid forms. Since the mid-1960s Jones has found inspiration in the dynamic treatment of the human figure and has invested his own images of women with a provocative eroticism as a means of arousing the viewer's emotional response. Jones's work is in countless public collections, including: Boymans van Beuningen, Rotterdam
