Ali Smith pays tribute to an incarnation of the swinging 60s (Sat 22 Oct 2016 06.00 @guardian ) “It’s a very arsy painting. A cartoon-like traditional theatrical proscenium arch, complete with scrolls, pillars and an imperial coat of arms surrounded by unfurled flags, frames a stage whose space is literally filled with a giant fleshy, naked female bottom. Underneath, bright red, bouncing against blue, green and white stripes, three massive letters spell out the word BUM, and at the very top of the painting two tiny love hearts in the same bright red peek over the roof of the stage flaunting their buttocky curves. . It’s a laugh-out-loud surprise. It literally bares its rear end at convention. Performance, my arse. It’s also the last extant painting by Pauline Boty. Who was Boty? The usual version is tragic; she was a bright young thing, gorgeous and vivacious, who died a young and tragic death in 1966 from cancer aged only 28. The tragedy is compounded by circumstance; the cancer had been discovered in a pregnancy checkup. She had been offered an abortion so she could have radiotherapy (without the abortion, no treatment, was the law), but turned down both in favour of the baby. She died in July 1966 less than five months after giving birth to her daughter. The decades after her death were layered with attendant sadnesses: her husband, the literary agent Clive Goodwin, died in a messy and tragic way in the late 70s in the US, then their daughter, Boty Goodwin, who had gone on to become an artist herself, overdosed and died the night after her graduation, almost as young as her mother. . She was born in Croydon in the spring of 1938. She died in the summer of 1966. At Wimbledon Art School in the late 50s, when a boy asked her why she wore so much red lipstick, she chased him across the canteen shouting “all the better to kiss you with”. .
