Celebrated artist and Picasso muse Françoise Gilot dies at 101.

Françoise Gilot, an accomplished painter and memoirist, died at the age of 101. She was best known for her long and tumultuous romantic relationship with Pablo Picasso, which ended in 1953 when she walked out on him. Despite being overshadowed by Picasso's fame, Gilot continued to paint and exhibit her work, which fetched increasingly higher prices well into her later years. Her memoir, "Life with Picasso," was an international bestseller and provided much of the material for the 1996 movie "Surviving Picasso." Gilot's commitment to art was present long before her relationship with Picasso, and she was sadly often left in his shadow.
