Picasso and Francoise Gilot

This publication explores Picassos portrayals of life with Gilot and their young family in the decade they spent together. Franoise Gilot was a young budding painter when she met Picasso by chance at a caf in 1943. The subsequent ten years spent together was a time of transformation in Picassos paintings that coincided with revolutionary inventions in lithography, sculpture, and ceramics. Picasso: LEpoque Franoise presents for the first time several of Gilots paintings and drawings from the period alongside Picassos when the young painter was maturing while the elder continued to change the face of modern art. The fully illustrated catalogue includes a historic dialogue between Richardson and Gilot celebrating Picassos innovation in every medium during the postwar years of renewal.
