Françoise Gilot (French, B Françoise Gilot (French, b. 1921) ______________________________________ French painter Françoise Gilot occupies a unique niche in the modern art landscape as a female giant of the art world. At 96, she remains one of the most exciting and collectible artists of our century, as well as the preceding one. Born in 1921, Gilot’s career was shaped by the artistic milieu of World War II German-occupied Paris. Having declared at age six her intention to be an artist, Gilot was well on her way before entering college. After years of diligent lessons in watercolor and india ink, followed by an apprenticeship in etching and printmaking, Gilot displayed an early facility for draftsmanship. A gifted academic student, she obtained her baccalaureate degree at age 16 and earned advanced degrees in English Literature and law. But her destiny was clear: she was and would be an artist, a rebellion that violently angered her father and resulted in a rift between them that never completely healed. In the fraught wartime environment, her drive and ambition flourished, and she became one of the rising stars of her generation, loosely aligned with the burgeoning School of Paris movement. Much of her early work was destroyed in an evacuation attempt, but what survives displays skill and confidence beyond her years. She met Pablo Picasso in a café on the eve of her first formal exhibition. Despite their 40-year age difference, Gilot answered his charismatic celebrity with her own strong sense of self. After viewing her work, he took her seriously as a challenge both artistic and personal; their productive decade-long creative and romantic partnership launched her career and elevated his. They had two children together, Paloma and Claude, and shared famous friends such as Matisse, Braque and the poet Paul Elouard before Gilot ended the relationship, unwilling to sacrifice her career or her identity to remain in his shadow. Leaving Paris behind her, she became a pioneer, establishing a studio in London and traveling through the middle east and later to America where she attracted the attention of another pioneer, medical giant Dr. Jonas Salk; they remained married twenty-five years until his death in 1995. Now, after seven decades of creative achievement, Gilot is widely recognized as an innovative colorist and superlative draftsman; her work has been shown in museum exhibitions worldwide and she has published several successful books. Her well-documented oeuvre comprises more than 6,000 paintings as well as drawings and printmaking works, and she has designed theater sets for the stage and ballet productions. In 2012 she was made a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor by the nation of France. Gilot has been featured in numerous publications throughout her long career, such as the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Vogue and Vanity Fair. She has been interviewed twice by Charlie Rose and was recently featured on CBS Sunday Morning. FRANÇOISE GILOT – SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY Gilot, Françoise, and Lake, Carlton.

Their making usually reflects a determination on the part of the director or star to see the artist as an alter-ego. Many of them were adaptations of successful literary works, which tempted financial backers by having a ready-made audience based on a pre-established reputation. The sub-genre’s development is explored via the grouping of films with associated themes and the use of case studies.

  • Pablo Picasso Wrote No Book of Essays Or Any Treatise on Painting
    PICASSO IN CONVERSATION . Pablo Picasso wrote no book of essays or any treatise on painting. His thoughts, concerns, criticism and values are sufficiently clear in his work – most of which was in creative arts and occasionally in written pieces (poetry, plays, letters and dedications). For a summary of his thoughts we need therefore to consult the written records of those who knew him best, of the researchers who peronally met him, of the friends who loved him. Here is a selection of Picasso’s sayings expressed in conversations, meetings, interviews and collections in different bibliographic material. All of them may be looked up at the Barcelona Picasso Museum library (by prior appointment only). BARCELONA . “There is where it all began... There is where I understood how far I could reach” (In Pierre Daix, Picasso Créateur, Paris, Seuil, 1987, p. 103) UNDERSTANDING ART . Everyone wants to understand painting. Why not try to understand the songs of a bird? Why does one love the night, flowers, everything around one, without trying to understand them? But in the case of painting people have to understand. (In Christian Zervos, “Conversation avec Picasso” in Cahiers d’art, 7/10, Paris, 1935, p. 178) Why do you paint in such a way that your expression is so difficult for the public to understand? [Question from Jérôme Slecker]. I paint this way because here is the result of my thoughts. I have worked for years to get there, and if I take a step backwards, it would be an insult to the public as it is the result of my reflections.

  • Picasso, Mallarmé, Papier Collé
    The Hope of an Anonymous Art: Picasso, Mallarmé, Papier Collé Trevor Stark • Revoir Picasso’s symposium • March 25th, 2015 In February 1935, Georges Braque joined a chorus of mostly chauvinistic voices to submit a “Testimony Against Gertrude Stein” for a special supplement of the journal Transition, denouncing her Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas. In contrast to other contributors such as Tristan Tzara, who heaped misogy- nist insults about Stein’s “literary kitchen” and “literary pros- titution,” Braque objected to the “egocentric deformation” wrought by the ensnarement of Cubism within the (auto-)bio- graphical mode.1 While no doubt indignant at being classed by Stein as a mere “grenadier” to Pablo Picasso’s “Napoleon,” Braque nevertheless did not seek to assert his aesthetic parity with Picasso, but rather emphasized Cubism as a project to dissolve aesthetic subjectivity in itself: “In the early days of Cubism, Pablo Picasso and I were engaged in what we felt was a search for the anonymous personality. We were inclined to efface our own personalities in order to find originality.”2 In strikingly similar language, the other main players echoed this claim for Cubism as a collective effort to become anonymous. In his book Juan Gris, Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler, 1. Pablo Picasso the Cubists’ first dealer and most important advocate, wrote Man with a Hat and a Violin that Cubism entailed “a deliberate gesture toward imperso- 1912 nal authorship, arising out of a conviction that the painter’s Cut and pasted newspaper, and ‘hand,’ his individual ‘handwriting,’ should not be visible in charcoal, on two joined sheets of paper, 124,5 x 47,9 cm 3 the finished product.” And, as Françoise Gilot recalls, Picasso Metropolitan Museum of Art explained Cubism in this way: “It was because we felt the temp- Jacques and Natasha Gelman Collection (1998.

It is with this in mind that we are proud to showcase one of the most illustrious names in 20th century art: Pablo Picasso. Heralded as one of the biggest names of Modern Art and one of the pioneers of Cubism, Picasso dramatically changed the landscape of his contemporary art scene. Excelling in various mediums and movements, Picasso strived to cast aside conventional ideals, driving forward and exploring new limits all the while establishing himself as one of the most important figures within the art world. 3 We are pleased to present to you these prestigious works by the world’s most illustrious and recognizable Modern artist, in an intimate setting for collectors and appreciators alike. Gilles Dyan Stéphane Le Pelletier Founder and Chairman Director Opera Gallery Group Opera Gallery Asia Pacific Researching an illustrious figure such as Picasso is bound to elicit an array of polarizing definitions. The life of Pablo Picasso began in Málaga, Spain on October 25th in 1881. Not a particularly bright ‘Genius’, surely, is one that repeats itself often, ‘visionary’ another. Tormented, manipulative, student academically, at the age of eight Pablo was already displaying signs of artistic aptitude, a misanthropic – also phrases that pepper history’s perception of the persona, a man whose namesake talent his artistic parents recognized and encouraged.

Paul BAHN* ABSTRACT Many claims have been made, and continue to be made, concerning PICASSO’s reaction to Ice Age cave art — in particular, it is said that he visited either Altamira or Lascaux, and declared that “we have invented nothing” or that ”none of us can paint like this”. The paper investigates these claims, and finds that they have absolutely no basis in fact. PICASSO was minimally influenced by Ice Age art and expressed little interest in it. RESUMEN Se ha hablado mucho, y se sigue hablando, sobre la reacción de PICASSO ante el arte del período glaciar; en particular se dice que visitó Altamira o Lascaux y declaró: “no hemos inventado nada” o, “ninguno de nosotros puede pintar así.” Este artículo investiga esas supuestas reacciones y concluye que no se basan en absoluto en hechos. A PICASSO le influyó muy poco el arte glaciar y expresó muy poco interés por él. LABURPENA Asko hitz egin da, eta oraindik ere hitz egiten da, glaziare aldiko artea ikustean PICASSOk egin zituen adierazpenei buruz. Esaten da Altamira eta Lascaux koba-zuloak ikusi zituenean zera adierazi zuela: “ez dugu ezer asmatu” eta baita “gutariko inork ezin du horrela pintatu”. Artikulu honetan PICASSOk egin omen zituen adierazpen horiek ikertu dira eta ondorioztatu, adierazpen horiek ez direla gertaera jakin batzuetan oinarri- turik egin.
