[no title] 1976 - 1977

Editor: So, this untitled print by Allen Jones... it's a grid of different masked figures and faces. Some seem historical, some like superheroes. It's a bit unsettling. What’s your take on this? Curator: Allen Jones created this print, pulling from different sources that highlight the power of image. Note how masks, whether from antiquity or pop culture, conceal and project identities shaped by cultural forces. How do these images reflect societal anxieties around identity? Editor: That makes sense. The masks are almost like social roles we perform. Curator: Exactly. Jones is inviting us to consider the public role of these images, and how they reflect and shape our own perceptions. Editor: I hadn't thought about it that way. It's like a history of image and identity all in one print. Curator: Precisely. It's a potent commentary on the politics of imagery.
