The Weeping Woman by Pablo Picasso 1937
“For me she’s the weeping woman. For years I’ve painted her in tortured forms, not through sadism, and not with pleasure, either; just obeying a vision that forced itself on me. It was the deep reality, not the superficial one… Dora, for me, was always a weeping woman….And it’s important, because women are suffering machines.” -Picasso
Picasso’s epic masterpiece Guernica depicts tragedy, and the Weeping Woman series is thought to be a continuation of that theme. By concentrating on the picture of a woman in tears, the artist was referring to a single, universal representation of grief rather than specifically portraying the consequences of the Spanish Civil War.
