The Battle of Hastings 1962

"The Battle of Hastings" (1962) by British artist Allen Jones (1937 - present) is a vibrant abstract painting characterized by bold shapes and colors. The artwork's dynamic composition evokes a sense of movement and energy, suggesting a chaotic scene. The use of geometric forms, particularly squares and rectangles, creates a sense of structure amidst the free-flowing lines. Jones's signature style, known for its playful and often irreverent approach to figurative imagery, is evident in the fragmented and stylized figures that emerge from the abstract forms.
