Life with Picasso is a candid and personal account of Gilot's relationship with Picasso, spanning a period of ten years from 1943 to 1953. Gilot provides vivid descriptions of Picasso's artistic process and the creative energy that surrounded him, as well as insights into his personal life and relationships. She also reflects on her own artistic development and the challenges of being a female artist in a male-dominated world. Life with Picasso was a controversial book when it was first published, as it challenged many of the myths surrounding Picasso and exposed his darker side.
