Weeping Woman, 1937 by Pablo Picasso, Tate Gallery, London.
Picasso did a series of "Weeping Women" where their faces and emotions are broken-up by grief and the cubist style of creating an image out of a series of planes.
"Thanks to art, instead of seeing a single world, our own, we see it multiply until we have before us as many worlds as there are original artists." Marcel Proust

always found that painting disturbing
Although I think this portrayal is hideous, I wonder did he use the green and yellow to portray jealousy and biliousness? She seems more angry than grieved. Good use of color.
