Pablo Picasso and Françoise Gilot

New York City

Gagosian Gallery currently presents Picasso and Françoise Gilot: Paris–Vallauris 1943–1953.

This exhibition is a departure from its precedents in that it has been conceived as a visual and conceptual dialogue between the art of Picasso and the art of Françoise Gilot, his young muse and lover during the period 1943–53. The result of an active collaboration between Gilot and Picasso’s biographer John Richardson, assisted by Gagosian director Valentina Castellani, “Picasso and Françoise Gilot” celebrates the full breadth and energy of Picasso’s innovations during these post- war years, as well as presenting Gilot’s paintings alongside his marvellously innovative depictions of her and their family life. It is the first time that their work is exhibited together and the painterly dialogue between the fascinated mature male artist and the self-possessed young female artist can be retraced and explored.
