#Read2025 #MonthlyNonFiction #SheSaid

Finished this morning for #SundayBuddyRead this was a engaging memoir about an amazing woman. A gifted artist & writer, this book focuses on her time with Pablo Picasso & could be titled “Surviving Picasso” who was a giant ass hat man baby. It‘s hard to separate the frustration with the man from his art, but the real interest in book is Francoise‘s perspective on his art & her own. Thanks to the fabulous ⬇️

DebinHawaii … hosting & research of the wonderful Christine @thebookhippie the book was even better brought to life & I learned so much about Gilot & the other artists of the times. Therese background of this review is one of my favorites of hers, Paloma à la Guitare, a picture of her daughter Paloma. Truly a fascinating book. 2d
TheBookHippie I loved it so much. 2d

vlwelser That's a great painting. I really like her stuff. I was maybe a little surprised that she seems to have basically imitated other peoples styles for quite a while. But she was also 40 years younger than this creepy old man. I'm guessing this one is from later on. 2d
DebinHawaii @vlwelser Sotheby‘s says it was painted in London in 1965. 2d
vlwelser After she went on her own path. Good for her. I approve. 2d

#sundaybuddyread Thank you @TheBookHippie for bringing this book to our attention!

I learned a lot about Picasso from this book. If he wasn't a famous artist, he would have been labeled a creeper. His art was amazing. The man himself was a narcissist man-baby. Gilot's writing flowed well, and I was absorbed into her story. I would have liked a book about her later years. Her personal evolution was fascinating. She grew so much.

mcctrish I can‘t believe how long we had to wait for her to leave!!! Every time she circled back to a moment before to add more details - she seemed to do that a bit more towards the end - I‘d be yelling what was the final straw!!! 2d
Eggbeater @mcctrish I did a lot of yelling out loud throughout the book. 2d
