Referenced in Lloyd // Life Class VI by Allen Jones is a limited-edition lithograph created in 1968, printed on BFK Rives watermarked paper. This artwork is split into two distinct sections, combining elements of realism and abstraction. The upper section portrays a partially abstracted figure of a woman, with bold lines and vivid colors suggesting her form without fully defining it, evoking a sense of ambiguity. In contrast, the lower section focuses on the woman's legs in a more detailed, photorealistic style, dressed in bright blue tights that pop against the vibrant orange background. The composition explores themes of fragmentation and sensuality, characteristic of Jones' work in the 1960s, where he examined the human figure through dynamic, unconventional representations.
