"I met Pablo Picasso in May 1943, during the German Occupation of France. I was twenty-one and I felt already that painting was my whole life." Francoise Gilot
Thus begins my latest discovery as an "accidental reader." I collect books from all sorts of places: friends, thrift stores, and even an occasional bookstore. But my greatest joy comes from the serendipity of connecting with a story somewhat by chance.
I've loved Picasso as long as I can remember, and certainly with great passion after seeing the massive retrospective of his work in NYC in the 80s.
"Gilot's recall of Picasso's discussions about art, details of private visits to friends such as Matisse, Braque, and Giacometti, and her intimate understanding of his temperament make this work unique." Daily Telegraph
(Get the hardcover as one Amazon reviewer warned of really bad editing of the the paperback.)

Great photo!
Thanks! She was a beautiful woman. And they had an interesting relationship (at least at the beginning).
I like this blog!
Picasso used his women in his paintings, not always in flattering ways. I have two Picasso reproductions in my room.
Thanks for sharing. I'll try to get this book.
Thanks William. I think you'll enjoy the book!
