    Evelyne Axell—The Venus of Plastic

    Françoise LEVIE 2013 Belgium Documentary color 73min English, French DigiBeta
    Evelyne Axell (1935-1972), a Belgian artist whose work was only lately recognized, after 30 years of oblivion, as also the first woman Pop-art painter. Feminist, provocative liberated and beautiful, she was the first
    in art history to represent herself naked. She abandoned traditional oil to use her time's materials. The film follows the artist in her footsteps as an actress and painter, and through her short but intense
    seven-year career, which came to an abrupt end in a car crash.
