Françoise Gilot - Die Frau, die Nein sagt

Rebellin, Muse, Malerin - Françoise Gilot über ihr Leben mit und ohne Picasso

She remained an enigma to Pablo Picasso, and she was the only woman to leave him. Françoise Gilot is a painter, seeker of truth, an artist of life. For some, she is a living legend, a woman who is among the brightest of our time. With 'Life with Picasso', Gilot wrote an international bestseller in the 1960s - although Pablo Picasso did everything possible to prevent the publication of the work.

For this Ankerherz book, Françoise Gilot, mother of Paloma Picasso, opened the doors of her studios in New York City and Paris to the renowned biographer Malte Herwig. Together they approach the central questions of life: What is really important? What does happiness mean and what gives contentment? It's a book about art. And about the art of a fulfilling life.

'If you risk something, you also experience bad things, but you live and understand more and more. Above all, you won't get bored. That's the worst thing of all: getting bored.' FRANCOISE GILOT
