Francoise Gilot - 1921 - 2023

[Terri]

A wonderful painter and writer. She passed today at the age of 101.

Though not an unexpected death, it's hitting me hard. I liked her art, her story, her perseverance. RIP, Francoise!

Interesting .. I do remember reading about her some time back. You need to adjust your date.

Thank you for noticing the date! I'm out of sorts today.

Some perspective:

Shunned, boycotted, exiled: has France treated Françoise Gilot worse than Picasso did?

When she walked out on Picasso, he destroyed her art and waged war on her career – while France cast her out. Now that this great painter has died, says the woman writing her biography, it is time for this shameful treatment to cease

This was all horrible.
