The artwork titled “With Love to Jean-Paul Belmondo” was created in 1962 by Pauline Boty. It belongs to the Pop Art movement and falls under the genre of portraiture.
The artwork presents a striking depiction of a man, which is rendered in a combination of monochromatic tones and vibrant hues. The figure, donning sunglasses and a white hat, is set against a vivid orange background, accentuated by a large, red floral bloom that seemingly extends from the hat. Above the main subject, the artwork features a row of alternating red and green heart shapes, contributing to its Pop Art style. The piece captures an interplay between the bold, graphic elements and the subtle tonal gradation used to portray the man’s face, exuding a sense of flamboyance and charisma.
