Evelyne Axell, The Painter (self-portrait), 1970
Axell—one of the first Belgian artists to embrace Pop Art—was born in 1935. As a toddler, she won her town’s beautiful baby contest; as an adult, she worked as an actress and filmmaker before taking up painting. Her teacher was René Magritte: a family friend, he met with Axell twice a month for a year, helping her improve her technique.
