Allen Jones controversial fetish art
Escultura, pintura, instalaciones, fotografía o incluso diseño son algunos de los terrenos en los que la fructífera carrera artística del británico Allen Jones se ha movido, pero es predominantemente conocido por sus esculturas realistas y sus mujeres-mueble que, al mismo tiempo que se han convertido en un icono de la cultura popular han sido criticadas, no tanto por mojigatos moralistas a cuenta de su toque erótico y fetichista sino desde un punto de vista feminista por representar a la mujer como objeto.
Sculpture, painting, installations, photography or design are some of the fields on which the successful career of Allen Jones has moved, but he is predominantly known for his realistic sculptures and furniture-women, a work that has made its way in popular culture iconography but at the same time has been criticized, not so much by sanctimonious moralists on account of its erotic and fetishist touch but by feminism on account of the representation of women as objects.
"El error primordial del Arte es presuponer que tiene que ser serio", Lester Bangs: "The first mistake of Art is asuming it's serious."
