The Muse’s Revenge, Ilya Milstein

So I’m just going to leave this picture of an old Pablo Picasso here for reference.

#I recognized the reference but had assumed it was more of a general influence however they used the same molding and everything#I’m sure it’s supposed to be more of a general statement rather than being about any one artist and I’m sad there’s no caption on her site#but Picasso was certainly one of Those Artist Dudes#which is to say he was an abusive douchebag to most of the women in his life (x)

yeah fuck this dude

Not to be dramatic but this is absolutely the right way to deal with creepy old men whose “art” is just pictures of naked women

By the way if you like cubism but really dont want to look at Picasso, check out Francoise Gilot. She tends to do a lot of really stylized paintings of women but… Yanno. Without the abuse.

She’s also one of Picasso’s exes and consequently one of his muses. She’s spoken at length about her experience. And thus far, she’s had some pretty sweet revenge. She’s free, her artwork is simply gorgeous, and she’s still alive today (as of 2020) at the age of 98!

Edit: i would also like to add that Gilot was already an accomplished artist when she became involved with Picasso, and he completely sabotaged her career when she left him. He discouraged museums from showing her work, and he unsuccessfully tried to block the publication of her memoir, Life with Picasso. To my knowledge, she’s the only one of his “muses” who is still alive, so let’s maybe take this time to explore and celebrate the work of a woman who was overshadowed by her abuser.
