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.

Celebrated artist and Picasso muse Françoise Gilot dies at 101.

Françoise Gilot, a celebrated artist, writer, and muse to Pablo Picasso, has died at the age of 101. Gilot achieved a distinguished career as a painter, with her work shown at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, and Centre Pompidou in Paris. She also published graceful, incisive memoirs and poetry collections, even as she spent decades battling with those who sought to define her by the men in her life, including Picasso, her friend Henri Matisse, and her second husband, American virologist Jonas Salk, who helped eradicate polio.

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.

"Hidden Dog Uncovered in Early Picasso Masterpiece"

Conservators at the Guggenheim Museum in New York have uncovered a small dog hidden beneath the surface of a Pablo Picasso painting, "Le Moulin de la Galette," during a technical analysis of the Spanish artist's early works. The dog, which bears a close resemblance to a Cavalier King Charles spaniel, was covered up by a swath of dark paint, but conservators were able to generate an image of what it originally looked like using X-ray fluorescence. The painting is now considered one of the earliest examples of Picasso's practice of modifying his compositions.

"Adorable hidden pup discovered in early Picasso masterpiece"

A brown dog wearing a red bow around its neck has been discovered underneath layers of paint in an early Pablo Picasso masterpiece, Le Moulin de la Galette, completed by the Spanish artist when he was 19 years old in 1900. The painting is on display at the Guggenheim Museum in New York, as part of an exhibition about the painter’s formative years in Paris. Experts used modern imaging technology on the painting, revealing the hidden dog. Over the years, researchers have discovered multiple hidden paintings in works from Picasso’s “blue period” between 1900 and 1904.
