Françoise Gaime Gilot, The Feminist Muse of Pablo Picasso

Artworks in Honour of Françoise Gaime Gilot, The Feminist Muse of Pablo Picasso

To me, Françoise Gaime Gilot was the most beautiful and intellectual of all the Muses of Pablo Picasso.

Attractive and expressive and not submissive like the other women.
She was a feminist.
Her refusal to be submissive annoyed him.

I have done these artworks which I am also going to mint as NFTs in memorial tribute to her.

Yusuf Grillo Has Passed On

The Pablo Picasso of Africa.
One of the greatest artists of all time alongside my mentor, Prof. Bruce Onobrakpeya who is still walking upright and working in his Art Studios at over 88 years.
Grillo was one of the great revolutionary artists of the famous "Zaria Rebels" of the Zaria Art Society of the Nigerian College of Arts, Science and Technology in Zaria that later became the Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) in Kaduna State of northern Nigeria. 

The "Zaria Rebels" led by Uche Okeke, the proponent of the Igbo Uli art in contemporary modern art included included Onobrakpeya, Demas Nwoko, Simon Okeke, Jimoh Akolo, Oseloka Osadebe and Emmanuel Odita. Like Grillo, they were all iconic artists of outstanding genius.

Farewell to the Great Grillo.
