Françoise Gilot, Artist in the Shadow of Picasso, Is Dead at 101
In remembrance of her many talents, here’s an image from one of her travel sketchbooks, reproduced in facsimile in a limited edition set of books published by Tachen, which I posted about back when she was a mere youngster of 96!
I highly recommend her memoir, Living With Picasso.
Really a remarkably prolific artist and it’s a shame she was always labeled with one relationship; if that’s the criteria, Mr. Salk was no slouch . This article at least acknowledges the problem: https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2023/jun/12/blatant-sexism-great-painter-francoise-gilot
I quite like your blog, thank you for posting this.
