Françoise Gilot
French painter
Marie Françoise Gilot (born 26 November 1921) is a French painter, best known for her long, stormy relationship with Pablo Picasso, with whom she had two children. Gilot was already launched as an accomplished artist, notably in watercolours and ceramics, but her professional career was eclipsed by her social celebrity, and when she split from Picasso, he discouraged galleries from buying her work, as well as unsuccessfully trying to block her memoir, Life with Picasso.
Born: November 26, 1921 (age 99 years), Neuilly-sur-Seine, France
Children: Paloma Picasso, Claude Pierre Pablo Picasso, Aurelia Simon
Spouse: Jonas Salk (m. 1970–1995), Luc Simon (m. 1955–1962)
