Introduction
The amazingly charming way of painting has inevitably captivated the public. And Picasso lived a rich enough life to surprise and amaze more than one generation of Europeans with his works. The work of art that has had the greatest impact on me and my own work is Pablo Picasso’s “The Weeping Woman”. Picasso has been an artist that I have been researching during my entire life, and he has made a tremendous contribution to many. There are numerous various styles and methods that Picasso employed during his lifetime, but the abstract nature and message of “The Weeping Woman” is the most powerful for me.
Why “The Weeping Woman” became an iconic painting
The meaning of this artwork is that after the Spanish War, during the period when Picasso was developing his works, he began to observe more of his wife’s emotions. His wife was severely distressed, so to reflect her grief, he produced an image that represented her in a cubist shape. Picasso, who was a prominent Spanish artist, was a master of cubism and developed it for his time period at the time of painting in 1937, while he was based in France. This corresponds to the message of the piece. The title “The Weeping Woman” alludes to the crying of Picasso’s wife, who was experiencing a deep depression back then. The artwork tells the story of his wife personally and Picasso’s first-hand perspective on how she was struggling through hard moments, enabling the viewer to interpret the picture through the prism of Picasso. The underlying sense of the artwork is that the painting itself is a tacit rebellion against the bombing of Guernica. It was a period of suffering that not only his wife experienced, but pain captured through a filter that anyone could relate to. The painting focuses on the woman’s eyes and her cheeks, because there is one tear at an angle that truly draws the audience’s focus. Picasso indeed sought to render this depiction with sadness, and so there is an accent in the painting that extends outside his cubism that produces melancholy. The representation of cubism is not essentially lifelike, but the point it depicts is as believable as it possibly can be.
The arrangement of the artwork is extremely personal, as it does not strictly emphasize the items in the back or front. These zones feature distinctive highlights, including the woman’s hat in the back and her clothing in the front, but the primary purpose of the piece is in the middle and features the most cubist elements. The painting’s subject is grouped together in a cubist manner that combines all the facial details and potentially identifiable features of the woman in a vivid, condensed fashion. Secondary elements, such as the woman’s hair or dress, are painted in deeper colors, with the primary emphasis on bright and lively shades of color to convey a sorrowful narrative. The shape of the paintings changes depending on every definition as it is an abstract work. It is an absolute masterpiece of art, and Picasso skilfully employs bright lights surrounding the central picture and deep blacks around the ambient parts to accentuate the tragic events portrayed. There are multiple forms in the painting, such as triangles, ellipses, octagons, and quadrants. The top is highly planar and produces a two-dimensional pattern with various forms going down to arrange a cubist piece. Thick, sleek, and harsh treatments are maintained across the picture, tracking and varying from top to bottom as the painting becomes sleek, harsh in the middle, and thick at the bottom.

Picasso acquired the method of oil painting together with various shades of color on the panel, as well as multiple distinct paintbrushes and devices to achieve the precise cubic appearance he desired. The sentiment he conveyed in this picture is too suffering and melancholic and holds a lot of different values that make the viewer despair. Picasso employs medium tones and cubic construction, like turning the center of the picture a dark blue, to highlight the period of profound decline in Picasso’s art. This piece affected me because Picasso’s way of painting and the literal sense of his paintings produce such a vivid combination of emotions in the viewer, in this instance me, and the manner and structure of his canvases simply enliven the genuine value of the work. For me, the nature of his paintings has the ability to convey ideas and concepts through various facets of expression, and he has considerably contributed to my creativity in a unique and powerful fashion. Picasso allowed me to establish moods and environments much higher than they were formerly, and this canvas encouraged me to do so to the greatest extent.
Conclusion
At long last, Picasso’s work has affected many, and he is one of the most impressive artists of the 1900s, but the sentiments produced by his masterpieces talked to me on a mental plane, and inspired me to produce something more dramatic, and something that really showed my emotions and manifestation in my performance. If it wasn’t for this work of art showing such profound grief and distress, there would have been a wholly changed perception of art in that period, and Picasso’s work would have been much different.
