Life with Picasso
Life with Picasso | Françoise Gilot, Carlton Lake
Francoise Gilot was a young painter in Pasis when she first met Picasso - he was sixty-two and she was twenty-one. During the following ten years they were lovers, worked closely together and she became mother to two of his children, Claude and Paloma. LIFE WITH PICASSO, her account of those extraordinary years, is filled with intimate and astonishing revelations about the man, his work, his thoughts and his friends - Matisse, Braque, Gertrude Stein and Giacometti among others. Francois Gilot paints a compelling portrait of her turbulent life with the temperamental genius that was Picasso. She is a superb witness to Picasso as an artist and to his views on art...

This book has been on my Amazon wish list ever since I watched the TV Genius Series about Pablo Picasso starring Antonio Banderas.

While sorting books for my local Library‘s book sale, it showed up! So... although, I am strongly resisting purchasing any more books,until I read and release many more of the books I own, it came home with me! Now when I actually read it, is another thing. 🤷ğŸ¼â€â™€ï¸

A lovely memoir about art and love and life. Gilot‘s version of Picasso, nearly 40 years older than her when they met, is a genius visionary and also sounds impossible as a romantic partner and eventual co-parent. But the writer is an artist in her own right, and I enjoyed seeing her work displayed alongside his.

Once upon a time, I lived in NYC and became friends with a lot of artists. Then I decided that most of them were certifiably insane. Insane people bios are the best. The end. #artrelatedbooks @RealLifeReading
