The key above for the different individuals and objects assembled by Pauline Boty in one of her most important collages – the c. 1960/61 work “Picture Show” – is part of a new page recently added to the site.
Thanks to Boty’s preproduction interview for and commentary during Ken Russell’s 1962 BBC documentary “Pop Goes the Easel”, we have a record of her inspiration behind creating the collage and descriptions of some of its sources, including Franklin D. Roosevelt, Proust, Marilyn Monroe and Colette.
With most of the contents identified, it is hoped that in time the rest of the items can be also and the list on this page completed.
