9. 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.

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. 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.

13. 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.
