Pauline Boty, 1938-66

Self-portrait

Artist Pauline Boty was a central figure in the growing British Pop Art movement. This self-portrait was made while she was still a student at the Royal College of Art. It is the only stained glass object in the Collection.

Boty later focussed on painting, and her representations of women, including Marilyn Monroe, were radical in portraying female pleasure and desire.

Tragically, her brilliant career was to be very short. Boty died of cancer aged only 28 and her work was largely forgotten until interest revived from the 1990s.

Pauline Boty

Pauline Boty  was a British painter and co-founder of the 1960s' British Pop art movement of which she was the only acknowledged female member. Boty's paintings and collages often demonstrate a joy in self-assured femininity and female sexuality, as well as criticism (both overt and implicit) of the "man's world" in which she lived. Her rebellious art, combined with her free-spirited lifestyle, has made Boty a herald of 1970s' feminism

So interesting, as an American I just had this conversation not too long ago with a friend from the UK - we were talking about the latest season of You and their depiction of classism of the UK vs US. To put in plainly she explained this exactly, what James is saying.

Michael Gambon seems a little out of touch with that perception if you ask me.

Here comes Johnny Yen again

With the liquor and drugs and the flesh machine

He's gonna do another striptease

Hey man, where'd you get that lotion?

I've been hurting since I bought the gimmick

Something called love

Yeah, something called love

Well, that's like hypnotizing chickens

Well, I'm just a modern guy

Of course, I've had it in the ear before

'Cause of a lust for life

'Cause of a lust for life

I'm worth a million in prizes

With my torture film, drive a GTO

Wear a uniform, all on a government loan

I'm worth a million in prizes

Yeah, I'm through with sleeping on the sidewalk

No more beating my brains

No more beating my brains

With the liquor and drugs

With the liquor and drugs

Well, I am just a modern guy

Of course, I've had it in the ear before

'Cause of a lust for life (lust for life)

'Cause of a lust for life

I got a lust for life

I got a lust for life

Oh, lust for life

Oh, lust for life

A lust for life

I got a lust for life

I got a lust for life

Well, I am just a modern guy

Of course, I've had it in the ear before

'Cause of a lust for life

'Cause of a lust for life

Well, here comes Johnny Yen again

With the liquor and drugs, and the flesh machine

I know he's gonna do another striptease

Hey man, where'd you get that lotion?

Your skin starts itching once you buy the gimmick

About something called love

Oh, love, love, love

Well, that's like hypnotizing chickens

Well, I am just a modern guy

Of course, I've heard it in the ear before

'Cause of a lust for life (lust for life)

'Cause of a lust for life (lust for life)

I got a lust for life

Yeah, lust for life

I got a lust for life

Oh, lust for life

I got a lust for life

Yeah, a lust for life

I got a lust for life

A lust for life

Lust for life

Lust for life

A lust for life (lust for life)
