Françoise Gilot was born in 1921 in Paris, France to Emile Gilot and Madeleine Renoult-Gilot. Her father was an agronomist and her mother was an artist specializing in watercolors and ceramics.

Françoise Gilot was born in 1921 in Paris, France to Emile Gilot and Madeleine Renoult-Gilot. Her father was an agronomist and her mother was an artist specializing in watercolors and ceramics. Her father was overbearing and had very different ideas for Françoise’s life than she had for herself. At the age of 5 after attending a party at her grandmother’s house, Gilot determined that she wanted to be an artist. Her mother Madeleine began tutoring her in watercolors at age 7, and in 1934 Gilot began taking weekly classes with her mother’s old art teach, Mlle. Meuge. In this same year, Gilot met Genevieve at her school. Genevieve would play a large role in her early art, as well as being a close and intimate friend to Gilot throughout their adolescence and young adulthood. Gilot set up her first studio in 1938 in her grandmother's attic.
She achieved a BA in Philosophy from Sorbonne, and completed an English degree at Cambridge. In 1939 near the beginning of the war, Gilot was sent by her father to law school in Rennes, where she was pushed to pursue international law. Much of Gilot’s early work was destroyed in World War II. In 1940, during a protest, Gilot was one of many placed on a list of hostages that were not allowed to leave the city of Paris and had to report to local authorities every morning. The Germans were very suspicious of French law students, so Gilot leaves during her second year and becomes a secretary for her father’s business as well as a fashion designer. In 1941 her father paid for Gilot to be taken off the list, but she could not yet safely resume her studies.
Françoise with children Paloma and Claude
The first meeting between Gilot and Pablo Picasso occurred in 1943, when they were dining next to one another in a restaurant. He approached her table with a bowl of cherries and started talking to Gilot and friend Genevieve. At the time, Gilot and Genevieve were putting on a show, which they invited Picasso to see. He did, much to the delight of Gilot. Around this time, Gilot made the final decision to fully embrace her artistic career, which caused her to become estranged from her father. During the next three years Picasso and Gilot saw much of each other as she continued to work on her art and travel.
In 1946, Picasso convinced a reluctant Gilot to move in with him, and they began their romance. After some convincing from Picasso, Gilot gave birth to their first child, Claude, in 1947. The new family moved to Vallauris in 1948, following the start of Picasso’s interest in ceramics. Their second child, Paloma, was born in 1949. Gilot and Picasso would split their time between Vallauris and Paris, as they worked on their art and raised their children. One of the reasons that Picasso was attracted to Gilot was because she was his intellectual equal. She became the only woman to leave Picasso in 1953, after enduring his temper for 10 years.
Françoise and Luc Simon
In 1954, Gilot met Luc Simon, an artist, and the two married in 1955. Together they had a daughter, Aurelia, and though they had a happy marriage, eventually they split in 1961, remaining on good terms. During this time, Gilot faced some backlash from ending her relationship with Picasso. An art dealer who used to exhibit her work terminated her contract due to pressure from Picasso, his other client. In 1957 Gilot obtained a new contract with Galerie Coard and continued to create and exhibit her work in Paris.
Throughout the mid-1960’s her reach grows, and she began to exhibit internationally.
Gilot published "Life with Picasso" in 1964, which gave an incredible, and overall not glowing, account of her life with the artist. Picasso was outraged and sued three times in an attempt to stop further publishing of the book. He failed in each and eventually admitted defeat to Gilot in the last conversation they ever had.
In 1970 Gilot married Jonas Salk, the creator of the polio vaccine. They had a happy marriage that ended with his abrupt death in 1995. Since then, and during this time, Gilot continued to create her art and exhibit all over the United States and the world. She spent much of her time between La Jolla, where Salk lived, and New York and Paris where she maintained studios. Her vast oeuvre speaks for itself and the incredible life that Gilot has built with her own two hands.

Patrick Weathers served as Managing Director and Vice President of Bryant Galleries of New Orleans where he helped to Sheppard the careers of many emerging American and international artists; Surrealist Augustine Ubeda (Spanish, 1925-2007) , awarded watercolorist Dean Mitchell (America, b. 1957), abstract expressionist Leonardo Nierman
Patrick Weathers served as Managing Director and Vice President of Bryant Galleries of New Orleans where he helped to Sheppard the careers of many emerging American and international artists; Surrealist Augustine Ubeda (Spanish, 1925-2007) , awarded watercolorist Dean Mitchell (America, b. 1957), abstract expressionist Leonardo Nierman (Mexican, b. 1932) and PSA Master Pastelist Alan Flattmann (American, b. 1946) to name but a few.
As New Orleans recovered from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, Patrick began to work with his longtime friend and mentor, the legendary New Orleans dealer, Jacob Vincent Manguno. Introducing his existing family of collectors to the extraordinary body of work created by Pablo Picasso's former romantic and creative partner, artist Françoise Gilot (French; b. 1921).
After a period of two years, Patrick's passion for Gilot's art and his ability to place her paintings with worthy collectors became apparent. Manguno, then aged 83, decided not to retire, but instead, to relocate his "by appointment" gallery from a quiet side street to a bustling block of Royal Street in the New Orlean's French Quarter; the South's mecca of fine art and antiques for over a century. Manguno invited Patrick to serve as his first and only Director of The Vincent Mann Gallery (1972-2017). Patrick hired and trained a staff and installed his proven process for the gallery's operation that had been so successful during his years with Bryant.
In 2008 The Vincent Mann Gallery, Gilot's largest and oldest gallery, was reborn. It was here that the two men spent a decade planning, curating and directing a series of highly successful Gilot exhibitions.
As the Gilot art market ignited in New Orleans, worldwide scholastic opinion of the artist also began to change. By 2012, academic consensus concurred with Patrick's premise that it was actually Gilot's influence on Picasso during their eleven year relationship that was profound, and not vice versa. This same idea would be put forth by Picasso biographer and leading British art historian, Sir John Patrick Richardson, in his 2012 publication, "Picasso and Francoise Gilot: Paris-Vallauris, 1943-1953".
Ultimately, it was Manguno's stellar reputation as a dealer, coupled with Patrick's ability to successfully present and place Gilot's artworks, that made this team most successful.
Over the years, Patrick developed a lasting relationship with Madame Gilot and her wonderful family, that transcends the traditional artist/gallery relationship. So, when Jacob Manguno passed away at age 92 in 2017, Madame Gilot invited Patrick to serve as private dealer of her collection privé .
In 2018, Madame Gilot escalated in Artnet's ranking of the world's top 300 most significant living artists from position 278 to number 52, and Patrick was recognized by the same as Françoise Gilot's Correct Dealer. art gallery françoise gilot art national gallery of art
