The Weeping Woman (1937)
I found The Weeping Woman interesting for its combination of subject matter and style which monstrously expresses a very human emotion. Cubism as a style can be seen as a monstrous art that attempts to reflect emotions and concepts back onto humanity. This can be seen in The Weeping Woman since its depiction of sorrow is potent even if we don’t really see the woman in the painting as being properly human. Picasso is following in the footsteps of Montaigne in trying to find the monstrous inside of himself and others which blends perfectly into his art which expresses emotion in a brutal state that only makes it more fascinating to observe.
