The Weeping Woman

The Weeping Woman is an oil on canvas painting by Pablo Picasso in France in 1937. This painting allows us to see how much suffering could be depicted by a single face. The Weeping Woman to Pablo was of someone he knew, that went by the name Dora Maar. Whom Pablo described to be always weeping.

Now take a moment and try to amerce yourself into what you see, once you begin to look closely you can almost feel her pain. The way Pablo captured such emotion in this photo is almost indescribable, its almost as if you are experiencing the suffering that Dora Maar had to undergo with her.

Picasso created this final canvas in a series of paintings to protest the violence and brutality of what was happening to Guernica on April 26, 1937. This painting captures all the violence in which Pablo didn’t believe in, and allows others to feel the pain and suffering of “The Weeping Woman.”
