Françoise Gilot
(26 November 1921 – 6 June 2023)
Françoise Gaime Gilot was a French painter. Gilot was already launched as an accomplished artist when she met Pablo Picasso, notably in watercolors and ceramics, but her professional career was eclipsed by her social celebrity, and when she split from Picasso, he discouraged galleries from buying her work, as well as unsuccessfully trying to block her 1964 memoir, Life with Picasso.
She was an accomplished painter whose art was eclipsed by her long and stormy romantic relationship with a much older Pablo Picasso, and who alone among his many mistresses walked out on him, died on Tuesday at a hospital in Manhattan. She was 101.
The death was confirmed by her daughter Aurelia Engel, who said Ms. Gilot had recently been dealing with heart and lung ailments.
