James Francis Gill | The Return of James Francis Gill

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’.
