When his work appeared professionally in the 1960's, Jeffrey Jones soon became one of the most respected creators of fantasy and science fiction art. Comfortable as both book cover illustrator and comics artist, Jones gained a large and loyal following. Especially popular for his paintings of beautiful women, he decided to concentrate on a series of works exploring the feminine mystique. Age of Innocence: The Romantic Art of Jeffrey Jones is the glorious result of this artist's fascination with the female form. Included are 44 masterful works celebrating women, 30 of which are published here for the first time. Displaying classical fantasy, romantic and sensual themes, Jones' visions are erotic, playful, thoughtful and frequently breathtaking.
