In the second half of the decade, Hardy became a pop icon and was consequently made a muse by numerous creative people.[127][179] She was the subject of portraits by artists Michel Bourdais,[199] Bernard Buffet,[200] Gabriel Pasqualini[201] and Jean-Paul Goude.[202] In 1965, Jacques Prévert wrote a poem dedicated to the singer titled Une plante verte, which was read as part of Hardy's performance at the Olympia.[203] She was also the subject of a poem by Manuel Vázquez Montalbán[204] and an open letter by Paul Guth.[205] Belgian illustrator Guy Peellaert used Hardy as a model for the title character of his 1968 pop art and psychedelic-inspired comic Pravda la Survireuse, made in collaboration with French screenwriter Pascal Thomas.[179][206] The singer was admired by Spanish artist Salvador Dalí,[127] who invited her to spend a whole week with him in Cadaqués in 1968.[207] Outside of France, Hardy was also regarded as an icon in the Swinging London scene.[208][19] She acknowledges to having been a "source of fascination for the English pop musicians" during that time.[7] Malcolm McLaren described her as the "utmost of the pinup girl, pinned to the walls of every trendy pop apprentice's bedroom down in Chelsea. Many bands in their prime, like the Beatles or the Stones, dreamt of dating her."[39] Her image fascinated the young David Bowie,[110] Mick Jagger (who described her as his "ideal woman"),[7] Brian Jones,[30] Morrissey,[191] and Richard Thompson.[128] Bob Dylan was notably infatuated by the singer and included a beat poem dedicated to her on the back cover of his 1964 album Another Side of Bob Dylan.[128][7] It begins: "for françoise hardy/at the seine's edge/a giant shadow/of notre dame/seeks t' grab my foot/sorbonne students/whirl by on thin bicycles/swirlin' lifelike colors of leather spin..."[137][209] In 2018, Hardy told Uncut that two Americans had sent her several drafts of the poem that Dylan had left in a café, stating: "... I was very moved. This was a young man, a very romantic artist, who had a fixation on somebody only from a picture. You know how very young people are... I realised it had been very important for him."[128] Hardy and Dylan only met in May 1966, behind the scenes of his performance at the Olympia.[210] Noticing that Hardy was among the concert's audience, Dylan refused to go back on stage to perform the second half unless she went to his dressing room.[93][211] She and other singers later joined Dylan at his suite in the Four Seasons Hotel George V,[211] where he gifted her early pressings of "Just Like a Woman" and "I Want You".[93]
