Jones designed Barbet Schroeder's 1975 film Maîtresse. Starring Bulle Ogier as the professional dominatrix Ariane and Gérard Depardieu as her obsessed lover.
The film was refused a certificate in the United Kingdom because of its graphic depictions of sado-masochism.

Re: Aleen Jones.. Artist 🖌️
Jones first group of erotic fibreglass sculptures, of a Hatstand, Table and Chair gained international attention when exhibited in 1970. The works were met with strong protests for perceived misogyny, which succeeded in making Jones a "cultural hot potato".
Laura Mulvey writing for Spare Rib magazine suggested the sculptures was inspired by latent castration anxiety. Almost a decade later, when they were put on display at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in 1978, they were attacked with stink bombs.
Eight years later, on International Women's Day, 'Chair' was damaged by paint stripper while exhibited at the Tate.
According to art historian and curator, Marco Livingstone, writing in 2004: "More than three decades later, these works still carry a powerful emotive charge, ensnaring every viewer's psychology and sexual outlook regardless of age, gender or experience."

This is an interest I also share, retro pin ups and the BDSM art of Irving Klaw.
The eroticism of corsets, stockings, suspenders, extreme high heels, fetish wear and latex.

Roman Polanski, Elton John and Gunter Sachs all owned a piece at one stage, with one of the sets selling at auction in 2012 for £2.6 million. The sculptures have also been referenced in Stanley Kubrick's 1971 film A Clockwork Orange.

Re: Allen Jones.. Artist 🖌️
The severe reaction from the art world, feminists, and the mainstream press after the his sculptures' debut would limit Jones' exhibition career in England over the next several decades.
When asked about their effect on his career, Jones was quoted stating "it's collateral damage. I wanted to offend the canons of accepted worth in art. I found the perfect image to do that, and it's an accident of history that these works coincided with the arrival of militant feminism."

Re: Allen Jones.. Artist 🖌️
Jones is known for incorporating erotic imagery into his works, including rubber fetishism and BDSM, and this sexuality has often been a focus of both art critics and the press.

Whether they be in two or three dimensions, with their polished surfaces and blank expressions they remain images that are iconic British pop art.
And that concludes my my thread on the artist Allen Jones.
