Pauline Boty
Actor · 1938 – 1966 · London, England, UK
Pauline Boty was a founder of the British Pop art movement and the only female painter in the British wing of the movement. Her paintings and collages often demonstrated a joy in self-assured femininity and female sexuality, and expressed overt or implicit criticism of the "man's world" in which she lived. Her rebellious art, combined with her free-spirited lifestyle, has made Pauline Boty a herald of 1970s feminism.
