Allen Jones’ style reflects a preoccupation with exploring the representation of the figure in the context of 1960s Minimalism and the decline of figurative representation in art. His disembodied Self, one of his best known prints, is a classic example of Jones' early works before he turned to sculpture. In the 1970s, he returned to painting, producing works inspired by mail-order fetish-wear catalogues. I recently met the artist at his NYC exhibition at Michael Werner Gallery in New York City. I asked him about this print which I owned, and he explained that Janet was his ex-wife. "Janet is Wearing" - refers to the way the mail order catalogues would advertise their wares - gesticulating to mimic how the clothes were presented. He shrugged his shoulders and said - that's why he thought of naming the work thus.
