    Pauline Boty was a British pop artist born in 1938 in London. She was the only woman in the British pop art movement and helped found the movement. Boty earned degrees in lithography and stained glass but also became an actress. Her colorful, vivid paintings often featured red flowers and depicted themes of female sexuality, pop culture like the Beatles, and political events. She incorporated press photos into her work and painted in a pastoral style using bright colors, lines, and shapes. Boty's rebellious art was controversial but portrayed post-war culture and feminism before sadly passing away from cancer at age 28.
