Allen Jones, (born 1937)
A Parable of Our Time II, 1981
A Parable of Our Time II, 1981
oil on canvas
152 x 152cm (59 13/16 x 59 13/16in).
Provenance
With Waddington Galleries Ltd, London.
The work of celebrated British Pop artist Allen Jones is immediately recognisable, whether for his 'furniture' sculptures or brightly coloured paintings. Diffusing a variety of influences – from popular culture, advertising and theatre – Jones has created a slick and unique signature style. In A Parable of Our Time II, we see the outlines and suggestions of figures deftly conveyed in a lyrical manner, using a typically vibrant palette and with details such as the silhouette of a stiletto, and the hint of an embrace. This painting is part of a series and although this piece has always been known as no. II, it was in fact the first work painted in the A Parable of Our Time series.
