Françoise Gilot Quotes

1921–2023 France

Françoise Gaime Gilot (26 November 1921 – 6 June 2023) was a French painter. Gilot was already an accomplished artist, especially in watercolors and ceramics, when she met Pablo Picasso, but her professional career was eclipsed by her social celebrity, and when she split from Picasso he discouraged galleries from buying her work and unsuccessfully tried to block her 1964 memoir, Life with Picasso.
