Au­ré­lia Engel, Françoise Gilot's yo­ung­er daugh­ter, di­rec­tor of the Françoise Gilot Ar­chi­ves and Krisz­ti­na Ko­vács ar­tis­tic di­rec­tor of Vár­fok Gal­lery will give a guided tour of the Ri­sing Pho­e­nix ex­hi­bit­ion in Eng­lish.

Françoise Gilot was an out­stand­ing ar­tist and an ext­ra­or­di­nary per­son, who be­came a le­gend du­ring her own li­fe­ti­me, leav­ing be­hind a leg­acy that will not go un­no­ti­ced. Bes­ides her paint­ing oeuvre, span­ning eight de­ca­des, she was the aut­hor of many books on art the­ory, pub­lis­hed and il­lustra­ted vo­lumes of po­etry, while tea­ch­ing at uni­ver­sit­i­es and mak­ing sce­nery and cos­tu­me de­signs for dance per­for­man­ces. Her versa­ti­lity and eru­di­ti­on cap­tu­red those around her, and her pre­sen­ce fil­led every space she in­hab­i­ted. The ma­tu­rity and ele­gance of her works, their solid forms, vi­va­ci­o­us co­lo­urs, dy­na­mism, witty mo­ti­ves and myt­hi­cal sym­bols are all pro­jec­tions of her comp­let­ely self-iden­ti­cal and mul­ti­fa­ri­o­us per­so­na­lity.
