The artwork “One Way Traffic” was created by Allen Jones in 1974. This piece belongs to the Pop Art movement and falls under the genre of figurative art.
The artwork consists of a grid-like composition featuring an assortment of images, predominantly of women, in various poses and settings. Each segment within the grid portrays its unique aesthetic, blending elements of photography, print, and possibly hand-drawn sketches. The figures are depicted in often provocative and bold postures, a characteristic approach aligned with Pop Art’s engagement with contemporary culture and societal norms. The prevailing colors include muted tones with occasional bursts of more vivid shades. There is an underlying sense of commentary on consumer culture and the objectification of the human form, commonly explored by artists within the Pop Art movement.
