Discover the art and life of Françoise Gilot 🎨
Françoise Gilot (1921–2023) was a French painter, printmaker, and writer. She held her first exhibition in Paris in 1943, during the occupation, and soon became part of the postwar modernist circle. The following year, she met Picasso, with whom she lived for a decade and had two children. 
The relationship brought both recognition and obstacles. As an artist, she developed an abstract style with bold color, rhythmic lines, and organic forms. She also published the memoir Life with Picasso, which made her a widely recognized author.
Françoise Gilot is one of the muses featured in The Muses – Inspiring and Challenging Picasso — discover her artworks and story in the exhibition at Artipelag!
