FRANCOISE GILOT

ARTIST BIO INQUIRE
 
<div><font face=Calibri size=3 color=black>We remember Francoise Gilot for her indomitable spirit and resilience, the only woman with the courage and determination to leave Pablo Picasso. Yet, apart from her association with Picasso, her vision as an artist will ultimately place her work within a suitable twentieth-century art context. Her figurative treatments, embracing subtle tonal harmonies interlaced with an organic interplay of shapes, stand on their merits. “<em>My Children in Brittany II</em>,” a lithograph from 1974, is a charming portrait of her three children, Claude, Paloma, and Aurelia. It demonstrates her ability to synthesize yet transcend her influences and craft a narrative uniquely responsive to family, motherhood, and life.  </font></div>
