Fran\u00e7oise Gilot is a French cubist painter, she was born in Neuilly-sur-Seine, a commune in France in 1921. Today she is still alive and painting at age ninety-nine! Gilot\u2019s father was a strict businessman while her mother was a watercolour painter. At a young age Gilot knew she wanted to be a painter, but her father was against this notion and pushed her into law. She started law school in her late teens. Gilot then dropped out when the Germans invaded Paris for security reasons but also to follow her true passion in art. Gilot met Picasso in a caf\u00e9 in 1943, she was twenty-one while he was in his sixties. They started an affair that lasted ten years and had two children. But Picasso grew to be tyrannical and abusive, so Gilot chose to end it. She was notably his only mistress to be the one to walk away from him, in retaliation Picasso drove her out of France by badmouthing her to the whole industry. To escape Picasso\u2019s influence, she moved to America and ever since has enjoyed a successful career and life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gilot\u2019s art is bold and confident, much like the artist herself. She tends to gravitate making primary colours the star of the show. Many ask her if Picasso was her main influence, but she has asserted that she only studied his art as much as any other painter at the time. If anything, meeting Picasso made her retract into her own style. Picasso\u2019s biographer John Richardson has corroborated this saying: \u201cPicasso took from her rather more than she took from him.\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favourite piece of hers is this portrait. I\u2019m drawn to her use of contrasting blue and yellow, the added square patterns is also very eye catching and interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
