14. Weeping Woman is an iconic
image of unspeakable grief and pain,
representing universal suffering. The
fragmented features and the use of acid
green and purple heighten the painting’s
emotional intensity.
The model for the Weeping Woman was
Picasso’s partner Dora Maar, a passionate,
strong and intelligent woman. The painting
is also often seen as reflecting their
complex and often stormy relationship.
It is an oil canvas painting which is
considered as one of Picasso’s most
famous abstract portraits.

15. Describe: The Weeping Woman is a painting finished by Pablo
Picasso in France, 1937. This type of artwork can be considered
to be expressionism. There isn’t an actual background scene in
the painting. The background is completed with different lines
and colors. The woman is the focus point of this painting. She is
wearing an accessory on top of her head which demonstrates
her elegance. My first impression of the artwork is that the face
of the woman is not proportionate and is only painted with lines,
no curves. The main colors that are used in this painting are
green, yellow, blue, purple, red and black. The painting is set
mainly of lined and little curves. The mood and visual effect that
this painting portrays can be considered to be suffering, and
sadness.

16. Analyze: The colors that the author uses can be considered to
be quite different as each color conveys a separate impression.
The light purple that begins at the bottom top of the woman’s
eyes can convey sadness. The other half of the face is mainly
covered in green and yellow; these can be said to interpret other
solid emotions that the painter must have towards this woman as
she was a vital character in Picasso’s life. The painting is created
with mainly lines which can mean that the woman had strong
physical features or that her different emotions were felt
passionately as lines are usually seen as strong technical
elements. The only curves that are being used are for her hair
and eyes. The eyes look quite down or depressive. This is
because the woman is crying, which goes back to the main
mood which is suffering.

17. Interpret: I believe that Picasso wanted the audience to feel pain
and provide a statement that explains how all women feel and
the agony that they are consistently in. The audience can see
that the woman has peeled away her flesh by corrosive tears to
reveal her white bones. The handkerchief she tries to stuff in her
mouth seems as a shard of glass. This vivid image can convey
pain and hurting. Picasso has expressed the behavior of this
woman several times and often describes the constant tears that
fall off her eyes. So, the feeling conveyed by the artwork is
definitely suffering. Picasso wanted us to feel her and
understand the pain that she was going through. It was not easy
to be a woman during that time since females where often
frowned upon. Picasso demonstrates the appreciation that he
has for her through this painting as he wants the audience to
understand her.

18. Judge: Finally, the artist’s value may be to evoke pain, as
mentioned previously. This is due to the colors that Picasso used
and the shapes that he draws; not only these technical elements
but also the images that the painter uses within the actual face of
the woman. The painting relates to the entire female community.
This community can understand the painting and know what
Picasso was trying to portray. Every woman is able understand
and comprehend the message behind this painting as we all feel
the same way at one point in our lives. I believe that this is a
strong value in the painting. The weak value lies in the different
colors that the painter chooses. I found it confusing to interpret
other areas of the face as the colors that were used didn’t seem
to match other locations of the face.
