弗朗索瓦絲·吉洛坦誠的回憶錄被《洛杉磯時報》譽為“迄今為止我們所讀到的關於畢加索思想和精神的最具啟發性的書籍之一”,並為我們深入了解兩位現代藝術家共同經歷的充滿激情和創造力的生活提供了引人入勝的視角。
1943年,二十出頭的弗朗索瓦絲·吉洛遇到了61歲的巴勃羅·畢卡索。她出身於一個富裕的中上家庭,父母送她到劍橋大學和索邦大學深造,並希望她將來從事法律工作。然而,這位年輕女子違背了父母的意願,立志成為藝術家。她與畢卡索的相識開啟了一段友誼、一段戀情,以及長達十年的伴侶關係。在這十年間,吉洛為畢卡索生下了兩個孩子,帕洛瑪和克勞德。吉洛是畢卡索的繆斯之一;她也是一位非常獨立自主的女性,決心成為她最終成為的那位傑出的畫家。
《與畢卡索的生活》講述了畢卡索作為藝術家和作為普通人的雙重生活。我們聽到他談論繪畫和雕塑,談論他的生活、他的事業,以及其他藝術家,包括同時代人和古典大師。我們得以窺見畢卡索多變的情緒:他時而對自己的作品不屑一顧,時而為之欣喜若狂,沉浸於各種迷信之中,時而又是一位焦慮的父親。但《與畢卡索的生活》不僅僅是一位偉大藝術家在其聲名鼎盛時期的肖像;它也描繪了一位才華橫溢、聰穎過人的年輕女性在其輝煌事業的開端。

90年代初,讀了Françoise Gilot著的: Matisse and Picasso: A Friendship in Art, Doubleday, 1990, New York: Anchor Books, 1992,覺得應該翻譯
Life with PicassoFrançoise Gilot’s candid memoir remains “one of the most illuminating [books] we’ve had on the mind and spirit of Picasso”—and gives fascinating insight into the intense and creative life shared by two modern artists (Los Angeles Times). Françoise Gilot was in her early twenties when she met the sixty-one-year-old Pablo Picasso in 1943. Brought up in a well-to-do upper-middle-class family, who had sent her to Cambridge and the Sorbonne and hoped that she would go into law, the young woman defied their wishes and set her sights on being an artist. Her introduction to Picasso led to a friendship, a love affair, and a relationship of ten years, during which Gilot gave birth to Picasso’s two children, Paloma and Claude. Gilot was one of Picasso’s muses; she was also very much her own woman, determined to make herself into the remarkable painter she did indeed become. Life with Picasso is about Picasso the artist and Picasso the man. We hear him talking about painting and sculpture, his life, his career, as well as other artists, both contemporaries and old masters. We glimpse Picasso in his many and volatile moods, dismissing his work, exultant over his work, entertaining his various superstitions, being an anxious father. But Life with Picasso is not only a portrait of a great artist at the height of his fame; it is also a picture of a talented young woman of exacting intelligence at the outset of her own notable career. |
