The woman who says no, 2020: CIP title page (Françoise Gilot)
New York times, 7 June 2023: in a front page obituary (Françoise Gilot; born Marie Françoise Gilot on Nov. 26, 1921 in Neuilly-sur-Seine [France], a suburb of Paris, died Tuesday [6 June 2023] in Manhattan [New York], aged 101; an accomplished painter whose art was eclipsed by her long and stormy romantic relationship with a much older Pablo Picasso, and who alone among his many mistresses walked out on him; her memoir, "Life with Picasso," written with Carlton Lake was published in 1964; Ms. Gilot's books have sold well, so has her art -- her paintings fetched increasingly higher prices well into her later years; in 1970, she married Jonas Salk, the American medical researcher who developed the first safe polio vaccine, and lived part of the time in California while maintaining her studio in southern France; after Salk's death in 1995, Ms. Gilot made her home on the Upper West Side of Manhattan)
