In 2012, James painted this artwork to celebrate 50 years of being in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art. In his 2000 book, Pop Art: Movements in Modern Art (Tate Publishing, London) , David McCarthy writes that James has juxtaposed the tension of her full body seated in the foreground with the selective representation of it in Life in the background. He adds: ‘Her famous physique, so often exploited in film and photography, is here undressed’.
