Renowned artist Françoise Gilot passes away at 101, leaving behind a legacy beyond her relationship with Picasso.
Françoise Gilot, an artist known for her work that spanned more than 80 years, has died at the age of 101. Gilot was born in Paris and studied philosophy and law before devoting herself fully to being an artist. She was known for her relationship with Pablo Picasso, which she wrote about in a memoir that made her a heroic figure in feminist art history. Despite being defined by her relationship with Picasso, Gilot's work continued to evolve from the Cubist mode she explored in the early 1950s to a flattened figurative style characterized by strong geometry and bright colors, and later to increasingly abstract paintings defined by organic forms rendered in vibrant colors.
