Join us for a compelling book discussion of Life with Picasso by Françoise Gilot and Carlton Lake, a vivid and intimate memoir that offers a rare inside look at one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Written by Picasso’s longtime partner and a formidable artist in her own right, the book explores creativity, love, power, and independence within the orbit of genius. Through Gilot’s clear-eyed storytelling, we’ll discuss art, identity, and what it means to claim one’s voice in the shadow of greatness. Readers of art history, memoir, and personal resilience will find much to unpack in this engaging conversation.
A limited number of copies are available to borrow from the ZMA. Please contact education coordinator Misty Johnson to check availability at education@zanesvilleart.org.
Thursday, January 29, 6–7 pm, at the ZMA. Free and open to the public. Register by January 28, 2026.
