Muse number 6, Francoise Gilot was Pablo Picasso's lover for 11 years and had 2 children with him: Claude and Paloma. Now 93 and an artist in her own right, she paints. She was also the only woman not destroyed by Picasso. She left him with her 2 young children and moved to New York where she wrote a best seller book: life with Picasso, which Picasso tried to stop from getting published and dis-inherited his children from her as a result.
So wonderful to meet Gilot in person. I noticed her stunning neckpiece immediately and her sense of style & taste immediately. One Degree of separation from the great master Pablo. I could imagine and feel the world of the prodigal master, Pablo Picasso and Francoise Gilot.
Pablo's painting of Francoise Gilot. She left him and was the only woman not destroyed by him.
