Which of Pablo Picasso's children became a film director?

Pablo Picasso's child who became a film director was Claude Picasso.

Born Claude Ruiz Gilot in France on 15 May 1947, he was Picasso's son with the artist Françoise Gilot. Claude worked across several creative fields, including photography, cinematography, graphic design, and film direction. He also studied cinema and mise-en-scène at the Actors Studio.

Before concentrating on his father's legacy, Claude worked as an assistant to photographer Richard Avedon and contributed photojournalism to publications such as Esquire, Time, Life, and Vogue. His career therefore extended well beyond being known simply as Picasso's son.

Claude later became especially important as administrator of the Picasso estate, managing copyright and legal matters from 1989 until 2023. A common mix-up is Paloma Picasso, Claude's full sister, who became famous as a designer and businesswoman rather than as a film director.
