Description
Pauline Boty: A Pioneering Figure in British Pop Art Pauline Boty was a trailblazing artist who played a pivotal role in shaping the British Pop Art movement of the 1960s. As one of the few women to break into this male-dominated field, she challenged the conventions of high and low culture, and refused to accept the oppositions between artistic expression and celebrity. Boty's work and persona were marked by a provocative and charismatic energy, which was reflected in her appearances on stage, screen, and radio, as well as her photographs and artworks. Her 'double vision' - a fusion of observer and participant, feminist and hedonist - was decades ahead of its time, and prefigured the diversity of artists who followed in her footsteps. This book brings Boty's remarkable story into vivid focus, shedding light on her life, art, and legacy.
