Françoise
Gilot (French, b. 1921)
Even at the young age of 21, Françoise Gilot was one of the
most respected artists of the emerging School of Paris, a movement
struggling for recognition during the years of The Occupation.
In
1943, during the time of her first important exhibition in Paris,
Françoise met Pablo Picasso, an artist 40 years her senior.
In 1946, Gilot and Picasso began a decade-long relationship and
Françoise
became both a witness and a participant in one of the last great
periods of the modern art movement in Europe. Their circle included
poets, philosophers, writers, and many of the legends of the art
world, such as Braque, Chagall, Cocteau, and Matisse. |
Officier de la Légion d'honneur

After
nearly 70 years as an artist, Françoise Gilot continues to
conquer canvas with her own language of form and color. Her work,
done in a variety of media, holds a vital place in the international
art world and represents one of the most exciting collecting opportunities
in contemporary art today.
Gilot
is included in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern
Art in New York, the Musée Picasso in Antibes, Musée
de Tel Aviv in Israel, the Women's Museum in Washington D.C., and
Bibliothèque Nationale and Musée d'Art Moderne in
Paris. In 1990 she received the
Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur, for her work as a painter, writer
and feminist. In 2010 she was made an Officer of the Legion d'Honneur,
the French government's highest honor of the arts.
This
extraordinary collection honors thirty-eight years of exhibition
history between Françoise Gilot and the Vincent Mann Gallery.
The collection comprises important early artworks from the period
1940-1960, selected by Françoise Gilot from her personal
archives. Many of these oil paintings, drawings, and mixed-media
works have never before been exhibited in the United States.
The
Vincent Mann Gallery is honored to present these rare artworks for
sale in "Collection Privée: Early Works by Françoise
Gilot 1940-1960."

Artist’s Statement: Ever since I can remember, I was always preoccupied with the study of the human body, pencil or brush in hand. At school, I made caricatures of the teachers and I tried renderings of the other girls’ attitudes - all of which usually ended up confiscated, and destroyed, I suppose... [READ MORE]
