LESSON PROPER

Picasso’s

painting is entitled
“The Weeping Woman”.
About Pablo Picasso
Pablo Picasso is recognised as one of the most
important figures in 20th century western art.
He created more than 20,000 artworks in a
variety of media including painting, sculpture,
printmaking, drawing and ceramics.

About Pablo Picasso

Picasso showed an early talent for art, and made lifelike
portraits as a teenager. However, after settling in Paris
in his early twenties he adopted more modern
approaches to making art. Between 1908 and 1911 he
and fellow artist Georges Braque ‘invented’ a style
called Cubism which took a radical, new approach to the
representation of space and form.

About Pablo Picasso

In 1937, Picasso completed his iconic mural
Guernica, a chilling depiction of the bombing of
the Basque town of Guernica during the Spanish
civil war, which resulted in the slaughter of many
defenceless civilians
The Weeping Woman
The weeping woman series is regarded as
a thematic continuation of the tragedy depicted in
Picasso's epic painting Guernica. In focusing on the
image of a woman crying, the artist was no longer
painting the effects of the Spanish Civil War directly,
but rather referring to a singular universal image of
suffering.
The Weeping Woman
The Weeping Woman, 1937 came at the end of the series
of paintings, prints and drawings that Picasso made in protest. It has
very personal, Spanish sources. In May 1937 Picasso's mother wrote to
him from Barcelona that smoke from the burning city during the fighting
made her eyes water. The Mater Dolorosa, the weeping Virgin, is a
traditional image in Spanish art, often represented in lurid baroque
sculptures with glass tears, like the very solid one that flows towards this
woman's right ear. Picasso's father, an artist, made one for the family
home.
The Weeping Woman
The model for the painting, indeed for the
entire series, was Dora Maar, who was working as a
professional photographer when Picasso met her in
1936; she was the only photographer allowed to
document the successive stages of Guernica while
Picasso painted it in 1937.
 The Weeping Woman
Dora Maar was Picasso's mistress from 1936 until 1944.
In the course of their relationship, Picasso painted her in a number of
guises, some realistic, some benign, others tortured or threatening.
Picasso explained:
“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.”
