Book excerpt: This volume presents the work of Pauline Boty, one of the founders of British pop art. Her approach to life and her art was innovative, radical and rebellious. A proto-feminist, she thrived in a male-dominated art scene until her tragic death at 28. Appearances in seminal films such as Alfie and Ken Russell's Pop Goes The Easel secured her the title of the Wimbledon Bardot. Boty's canvasses are a jubilant celebration of the Sixties that are crammed with eroticism and sexual politics, featuring Elvis, Monroe and other popular icons.
