Picasso was a child ofFrançoise Gilot andPablo Picasso[1] and the older brother ofPaloma Picasso. By a wish on Gilot's part, he was named afterClaude Gillot (1673–1722), a pioneeringFrench Rococo artist and mentor to fellow artistJean-Antoine Watteau.[2] His name wasClaude Gilot until age 12.[3] In 1968 he met Sara Lavner (Schultz), a young woman from Brooklyn. Lavner and Picasso married in 1969 and divorced in 1972.[4] He was a photographer in New York City when his father died. At the time, he had experienced a period of estrangement from his father due to his mother's 1964 memoirLife with Picasso. His father's legacy was important to him, and he established the Picasso Administration[5] to look after copyright and other legal matters.
Picasso lived in New York from 1967 to 1974. He wasRichard Avedon's photographic assistant for almost a year, and studied cinema and mise-en-scène at theActors Studio. He also worked as a photojournalist for Time Life,Vogue, andSaturday Review.[6]
Picasso also owned and raced vintage automobiles.[7]
Claude Picasso died on 24 August 2023, at the age of 76, almost three months after his mother's death.[8][9]
Claude Picasso was decorated with theLegion d'Honneur in 2011 for his personal work as photographer, cinematographer, and visual artist, as well as his efforts to administer his father's heritage.
