Description
Auction highlight. Françoise Gilot (b. 1921) "Owl in Front of the Moon" artist's proof lithograph. Pencil signed bottom right and inscribed bottom left 'efreuve d'artiste avant tirage' (artist's proof before printing). Gilot famously partnered with Pablo Picasso, with whom she had two children, before splitting and eventually marrying Dr. Jonas Salk. This beautiful work displays her style of organically fusing colors and shapes, a marked difference from her Picasso influenced cubist work. The hidden owl eyes throughout and the witches in front of the moon are two intellectually arousing parts of this work. Taped to the back are various magazine and news clippings about Gilot, Picasso and Dr. Salk. Frame measures 32.5" by 26". Art in frame measures 24.5" by 18.25". Some areas of wear on frame edge.
