The feelings I feel at the moment of looking at this painting is confusion. Also sadness, but as if it is the woman feeling it not me. I'm guessing maybe she didn't like all those different colors she was painted with. Or all those weird shapes with which they shaped her face. But I'm mostly confused or just curious as to what the artist was feeling at the moment he painted this or what was going on in his mind. And for some reason I still like the painting. Maybe the woman is suffering...The feelings I have are a mixture of confusion, likeness, and akwardness. But something in the colors makes it a good painting, not a dark one like many I have seen before.
The different colors in the painting evoke different emotions in a viewer. You look at all the bright colors and in the midst of it all is blue and you wonder about what Picasso was trying to say when he painted it. I feel like he started it out while he was depressed and then as he kept painting it, he felt his depression go away and what was left was not a complete joy, but instead a relief from the sadness he was feeling. When you look at the painting as a whole, it seems almost bizarre; when you look at it in separate pieces, it makes some sense. The painting just seems like it has different pieces of art all randomly put together.
At a glance the painting of the Weeping Woman scared me. The lady's face is very much deformed and in pain. Examining it closer, I realized there are many different expressions and look of direction in the painting. I see the front of the woman's profile facing in one way and the other side of her face looking down. I can relate to this painting in many ways because it reminds me of my mother back in my younger years. This painting makes me sad because I used to see my mom weep like that continuously. Reason being that my dad was cruel and abusive towards her and ended up leaving us for another woman and another life.
This painting is very chaotic at first sight. There are all kinds of objects all over it, which makes the painting look confusing. The woman looks as if she's mad, sad, and/or nervous. The colors used are very dull which make the painting look dull as well. The way the face was drawn, you can't really distinguish the face parts or what exactly Picasso was trying to draw because it all just got kind of put there, everything overlapping each other, without any kind of organization.
I see a woman weeping, one semi profile, and another interior entirely profile. She's biting her nails, or clutching onto something, or perhaps praying, from here, I can't really see the details. I see the colors green, which I make out to be as sickness. There is extreme sorrow, and hollowness in her eyes. I see the interior is blue, maybe revealing bones, a globular mess, it hurts my eyes. There are sharp edges and abstract shapes. She looks dressed in a funeral outfit. The green, brown, and some blues are bright, but muted. The main focus is in the mouth region, it looks like she's clenching her teeth.
When I first saw the picture of the Weeping Woman painted by Picasso I shivered. As I looked at it longer I saw her eyes that were filled with tears and sorrow. I also saw those tears that were in her eyes dripping down her face. The colors of this painting were colors that would normally seem bright but compared with the sharp edges and sadness of the artwork they seemed dull. Her hands are poised around her mouth as though she was trying to hide herself. In her hands she is holding what appears to be a handkerchief which she is biting out of pain and anguish. She also seemed nervous and looked as though she would accept any kind of relief. On top of her head she wore a hat with a flower, these things would usually seem inviting but because of the sharp edges of the flower and hat it seems to say stay away. On a whole the lady in the picture seems as though she was painted by her emotions.
mdang period 3: I see a woman weeping. It looks like she's biting her nails, or perhaps clasping her fists together, holding something? I can't really see details from where I'm sitting. I see green, which I think as sickness, she's mourned herself to sickness. I see sorrow, and hollowness in her eyes. Around her mouth area it's blue and sharp. It reminds me of bones, it's a globular mess, it hurts my eyes. There are greens, blues, blacks, and browns, they are bright, yet muted compared to the vivid blue.
SHagen Per. 3 The woman in Weeping Woman by Pablo Picasso looks very sad and confused. The tissue she holds to her mouth looks as if it is made of sharp glass, and beneath the cloth her flesh is being peeled away by her tears. It seems as if her sadness has suddenly struck her and she has become tangled and blue. Her eyes are dark as if she has just died on the inside.
Picasso used colors to explain the painting. In the background, there is a bright yellow compared to the fading blue of the face. This may mean that evrything around the woman may be going right, but not for her. She is bright on the outside, but on the inside she is jelous and sad. She also is a bit disfigured which may mean that she is falling apart.
The colors of this painting look like they are bright colors, but have been somewhat toned down by the woman's emotions. I think this shows that she might be trying to appear happy and fine on the outside, but on the inside she is broken up and sad. The sad part of her is represented in the blue part of the painting around her mouth and hands. The woman's eyes also strike me as being very sad.
DSchlutz Per.3 Picasso’s portrait of the weeping woman carries many meanings. The black dress she wears and the dark flower in her hair represent a weeping mom or wife at her loved ones funeral. The brighter colors on the outside of her face and the darker, sadder ones within her face show that she is hiding an inner sadness from those attending the funeral, under the handkerchief which she is grasping, but alas, Picasso chooses to present this to the audience. The ear drop rolling of the side of her face which appears solid can be interpreted as the handle of a dropper that is pouring out tears upon her face.
cchapin In this painting I notice that the exotic colors surrounding her face where her mouth reveals so much pain there are colors that could be brighter but are not. The image the woman is trying to create for the outside with these bright colors really aren't working because there is no way anybody is able to cover up emotional pain. Not with the large hat she is wearing or the blue flower on the hat, or the colors she wears to try to look brighter. Her eyes are also interesting because they are drawn so large and are emphasized as if that is the connection where her interal emotions are able to reveal themselves.
The woman in the image looks sad a nervous. Her face shows her emotions. The way she is holding her body suggests she is trying to comfort herself and work through her sadness. Her face seems peeled away as if the tears “opened her up” to vulnerability. The handkerchief in her hand is a symbol of protection. The colorful background is a sharp contrast to the cold colors of the woman. Her hat is covering her and represents hiding, though it is a bright color. The woman’s fingers are rough shapes because of the harshness of crying.
When I look at this painting, I suddenly remember what it feels like to want to run away and hide from people. The womans feelings have spilled onto the canvas and we see that the is really in pain. The distribution of the colors intrigue me, the way colors, that would stereotypically paint a happy, more upbeat picture, are used to create this sad sad woman.This painting makes me wonder what Picasso's inspiration was, if he was in the mood that this woman is in, or if he just wanted people to stop and admire how he can catch all the feelings of depression and anger in one painting. He makes this picture so vivid that I really do feel sympathy for this weeping woman. Her eyes catch my attention the most, so sad and full of hurt. Her eyes alone can tell a story of sorrow. The sharp edges take away from the saddness and add a sort of anger or eagerness to the mood. This is a wonderful interpretation of what I see when I am in desperate need of a friend. Ironically instead of remembering my mother or a sad woman in my family, I am reminded by this painting of my kid brother. The way Picasso painted her tear into a spoon in which her eyes are afloat really represent how we often feel when something horrible has happened. She looks as though she is trying to stay strong and not just melt away into her tears. She is not defeated yet.
For Weeping Woman, I think the painting tried to be cheerful by the use of primary and secondary (warm)colors like yellows, blues, greens, and oranges. Yet the womans' expression is one of horrification, or perhaps pain/loss. Her hair is down, a curtain of blackish-blue that represents beauty, along with the single earring. It contrasts against the dark colors in the center of the abstract portrait, where it's only dark colors, fear, and bones. This section seems to represent loss, death, and mortality, while her 'fresh' skin and hair portray youth and beauty.
Her eyes try to tell her story, brimming with tears and open to harm. I think what Picasso was trying to capture in this painting was the inner turmoil of this woman, and how it's eating away at her beauty and life. Keeping it locked away in her heart is killing her, and a viewer could identify with this picture because everyone's been through some trauma, just like her.
The woman in this portrait looks sad and confused. The colors and the sharp edges add to the unhappy mood. To me, the painting of the weeping woman tries to represent how the woman is falling apart how hopeless she seems to feel. Another quality that I saw was the womans mouth. It looked like the woman's feelings were eating away at her. This portrait causes feelings of sadness, fear and confusion to me.
This picture of the weeping woman is a very intriguing one. It evokes a feeling of anxiety from me becuase of the terrified look on the woman's face. She looks like she is suffering greatly and in much agony. The blue porton of the picture shows her inner feelings while the other, more colorful, parts show a sort of exterior "mask" that she wears to hide her sorrow. Alos, the jumbled lines, mis-matching colors, disformed and misproportioned face, and the media chioce all contribute to a feeling of anciouxness and terror that is felt by the viewer. The paaindet was successful in creating a sorrowful, depressed, and chaotic picture that is conveyed very well through the artwork.
latwood per. 3 Emediently I am drawn into the picture through her sad and hopeless eyes. In the picture, it looks like she is hiding her sorrow inside her. On the outside she is wearing bright colors. But then in the center of the picture, near her mouth, there are sad blue colors. It represents the sadness coming out of her through her tears. She almost looks like she is holding her hands for security, almost as a defense against whatever is making her sad.
At first glance the art work is difficult to view entirely. In order to analyze it well, u have to dissect the different areas in the work. The woman in the portrait looks some what heartbroken. The intense hues outside her body make it seem as if she's trying to cover up her true emotions. The blue colors used around her mouth depict her inter wretchedness. Her facial expressions seem to be defeated by the emotional toughness. In addition, the angles and lines seem to draw the viewer into the center of the painting.

Her facial expressions seem to be defeated by the emotional toughness. In addition, the angles and lines seem to draw the viewer into the center of the painting.
The painting emits feelings of sadness. The blue area and the shape of the mouth show that the woman is really upset and in a lot of pain. The many different colors of her head represent the feelings she wants/needs to portray while the blue tissue acts as a portal to reveal the contents of her soul. Her emotions are so strong that her tears break out from within from the colored parts of the painting. The abstract shapes that make up her head and hands represent how she feels like a "mess" and has many different personality traits. The big block of junk that sits atop her head can represent how she feels like her world is crumbling.
The woman in Picasso's painting seems to be deeply distraught about something that may have occurred recently. She is wearing somewhat cheery colors, so whatever happened has not been mourned for yet. The blue of the tissue seems to represent the sorrow that has been brought into the happy, bright, yellow-green room. The chaotic modge podge of figures and shapes sharply drawn in the tissue may also signify the harsh realities that have come into play. Realistically we do not change into these vibrant colors and contrasts, but the symbols portrayed in Picasso's work help to demonstrate the inner most feelings of the woman and all aspects we may not have seen in a mere realistic type of painting.
Her hands are touching her face with defense; she's hiding. However, we can see through her hands allowing us to see beyond what she intended for us to see. Her teeth are grinding and her chin is furrowed. When people are crying they gather their tension in their mouth. This painting is a great example of that tension. Her hair is composed, she's wearing makeup, and has a hat on. Her external wear contrasts with her face and hands. The hat draws in desired attention and her hands and face lead us to believe that she does not want that kind of attention. The background colors and the lower face and hands' colors also contrast in comparison.
This painting is very abstract and portrays the inner emotions that the woman is trying to hide. The Colors seem to make the painting even more dramatic. acper4

In the painting "Weeping Woman", by Picasso, the main character, who is a woman, is extremely abstract. On the outside of her face, colors are warm and happy, such as yellow and green. The inside of her face though, contain blues, which are universally recognized as sad colors. I believe what this painting uncovers is that the woman may trick others into thinking she is happy, when really, deep inside of her she is sad and angry. Another emotion I picked up was nervousnes by the way she is clenching her teath.
The woman in this painting seems to be suddenly overcome with grief. She tries to hide it, but the pain and sorrow eats away at her inside until she can no longer hide it from the world. Her true "colors" begin to show and this is shown through the blue hankerchief in the painting. The woman's eyes are the first thing that you are drawn to when looking at the painting and they contain the most saddness compared to everything else in the painting. -apayzant per3
The woman in the painting seems distressed and torn. She has a furrowed brow and her eyes are open in worry. The painting is a combination of two different people, what is seen on the surface and what lies underneath. On the surface, her makeup is done, she is wearing jewelry and almost seems presentable. Underneath however, the colors are all shades of blue and grey. This could represent internal sadness or worry that is masked by a composed outer appearance, or at least an attempt at one. Certain parts o the woman’s physical features are obscured and hard to differentiate. These parts could be ones that the woman has trouble using, or is refraining from using. Overall, the painting is a mass of confusion and overwhelming pain.
Picasso's "Weeping Woman" painting shows a distressed and distraught woman who is crying madly. She is holding some sort of tissue in front of her face, almost defensively, and the tissue is grey/blue in color. The rest of her face is comprised of darker shades of green and yellow. These green and yellow colors come to represent a happier part of the woman's life, while the deep grey color of the tissue shows the sorrow and emotion of the painting. Oddly, the woman's lips appear to be sort of peeled back, which vaguely resembles a corpse of some sort. This lady has obviously gone through some kind of ordeal that has left her life in shambles, and everything about this painting reveals this truth. -mromano Per. 3
In the painting "Weeping Woman", the woman looks almost as if the bottom half of her face is deteriorating. She also looks extremely sad and judging by the color of the clothing that she is wearing, it seems as if she is in mourning. Also, since she is holding a Kleenex tissue to her face she is obviously crying a lot because more than likely someone died.
When I first looked at this painting the center of it, her mouth jumped out at me. The sharp jagged edges were tarring the painting apart. The woman is clearly in plethora of pain. Her hands are attempting to hold her sorrow in, but the sorrow is to great and it comes oozing out of her mouth.
The "Weeping Woman" looked very miserable and it seemed like she was mourning. She was wearing all black except for her hat, which had some purple on it. The painting draws attention to the woman's eyes, which are very watery from crying. The blue handkerchief represented her emotions inside. It seemed like her clenched teeth represented nervousness of what was to come and that the blue from the handkerchief represented her sadness.
The picture Weeping Woman by Picasso has an overall sad feeling to it. The woman's eyes are watered with tears and they seem almost as if they are broken. The blue-gray area that is surronded with harsh black lines in the middle of the picture looks as if it is an x-ray that shows the womans inner feelings. The colors on the outside of the picture appear lighter and happier, but that is probably due to the extreme contrast with the interior. The way the lines are drawn in the middle area make it look like the life is getting sucked out of her and even the tissue as it becomes sharp and rigid.
Response: MAronson The bright colors in "Weeping Woman," are accented with dark shades, giving it an overall sad feeling. The wrinkling of her brow seems to show her anguish, as well as the blue coloring in the center of her face. Sadness appears to consume her from the inside out, tearing away at her flesh. She seems to be a woman who cares about her appearance(in looking at her clothes and makeup), but her grief is far too much to even hold that together.
In this piece I see a very scared woman. The picture makes me feel as if the woman is nervous, because the twinkle in her eyes and the tears that follow. The eyes to me are the first thing I saw, because of the shine they give off. It also looks as if she is biting on something like a piece of glass. Also from that I get that she is nervous. From the scared expression and the random positioning of the fingers and hands covering her cheeks show the fear or fright of the woman. When I look at this picture I feel as if the artist was going through something fearful or nerve racking to create this piece. Artists are what their art is and art is what their artist's are. The colors and hue demand the attention, because the warm colors that cover the outer most portion of her face and the cold colors that cover the inner most portion of her face. To me this indicates that the woman is hiding her fear and nervousness away from the world or the better or even other side of something.
Acorrea per.3 This painting gives you very unique and abstract thoughts. If you look at it closely you can see the color contrast for the center ,were the mouth is, to the outer part of the picture. In the center you have this dark bluish kind of color that gives you the impression of a very deep sorrow. You can also notice that in the center the skin of the women seems to be peeling off . In comparison to the rest of the painting that area seems like the saddest part of the painting. On the outer half you do notice a sort of sadness but the women looks normal. Its as if the painter was trying to show the contrast of how the women was seen on the out side in comparison of how she truly felt in the inside.
tpatton This painting sows the emotions of the woman through the contrast of colors. The sadness and panic she feels is displayed through her eyes and the clenching of her jaw. She is also holding a handkerchief which symbolizes the terror she is experiancing.
The painting has many complex dimensions. The title speaks for itself in explaining the main idea of the painting. The way the painting was made so that the lines and thick and almost seem to be etched in makes it seem as if her pain and sorrow is etched int herself. Also the colors in the picture seem to represent that she is trying to hide her emotions and play it off as if all is fine . The way the outside of her face is brighter colors makes it seem as if she is happy. Then if you look at her charcoal eyes, and charcoal inner face you relize she is in emotional pain. Her clenched teeth and the way you can almost see her chin and cheek bones makes it seem as if her pain is eating away at her from the inside out.
atomasek This portrait of a weeping woman comes across as very ugly and unpleasant to look at. However, after closer examination, it is beautiful in all its different parts. Each facial feature is drawn out to show the most emotion. Also, the cold and warm colors show that he is mourning on the inside but trying to hide in on the outide. It looks as if her pain is eating away at her.
msandoval per4 As I gazed at the painting, memories of sorrow, and sadness filled my mind. The overall image speaks of sorrow, yet if you compare the area around the mouth, with the rest of the painting, the contrast of brighter colors creates a sense of the woman hiding something. It were as if the color and the hands are to her mouth,all of which hide a deeper sorrow. The disfiguration could be a representation of different perspectives of her sorrow.
cruehman The colors in this painting are very interesting. The cooler colors can be found at the ceter of her face. Here it seems as if her skin has peeled off and reveals almost a skelatal structure. It appears that the brighter colors are used to grab the onlookers attention. Her face has a green tone which can commonle be interpreted as a sick color. There is a lot of dark shading in the bright colored areas and it symbolizes the how even though she may look bright from the outside she might be hiding something. She is holding some type of napkin to her mouth and it gave this picture a harder look, because the napkin looks very sharp and hard. Her eyes are very dark and are gloosed over, they also appear to be in a type of bowl as if they are ready to fall over and pour. Picassos painting over all is a picture of a women very upset and about to cry, but it seems as if she wants to hold it back.
When I see the painting it makes me sad. When I first saw it, it just looked like a disfigured face but then when I looked closer the painting became different in my eyes. The painting seems more real because her eyes show sadness but when you look at the mouth she is biting down on a handkerchief as if she is trying to hide the pain. The painting leaves me with an impression of sadness. The painting is sad but it is not painted with dark colors, there are some bright colors in it but how they're used it just intensifies the sadness in the picture.
While observing "Weeping Woman", I realized the harsh structure of her lower jaw. It appears as if she is very upset about a certain problem, and it is eating away at her inside. The harsh structure seems to be the bone of her jaw, where the flesh has been torn away from this problem disturbing her. The colors are also signifcant. Around her body, the colors are lighter and brighter, which may represent how she tries to be happy on the outside and acts as though everything is okay. The darker colors on the inside of her face may represent the cold harshness of how she truly feels and that her issues are litterally kept inside of her. Lastly, the weeping woman seems to be covering her face with a type of tissue or cloth. This can signify that she is uncomfortable with herself and quite self-conscience about what people will think of her if they find out the problems that she is hiding from society.
This women looks as if she has just lost the only love of her life. The colors, although contrasting, seem to blend together to form a perfect depiction of depression and despair. The many different colors and types of tears that she is crying represents to me as all the different sadnesses that she is dealing with. The shapes of her face, if anazlyzed piece by piece are just that, shapes, but combined together in this excact order and form creates the maximum amout of feeling behind this painting. For me, the thing that really brings the entire painting together is her eyes. Surrounded on all sides by lashes wth irises that give off the feeling that they are shaking and they give off a sense of utter hopelessness. I do not see anything but sadness when I look at this picture and I am not sure excatly how I feel about that, but I would surely love to know waht Picasso was thinking when he created this masterpiece of depression.

This section seems to represent loss, death, and mortality, while her 'fresh' skin and hair portray youth and beauty.
Her eyes try to tell her story, brimming with tears and open to harm. I think what Picasso was trying to capture in this painting was the inner turmoil of this woman, and how it's eating away at her beauty and life. Keeping it locked away in her heart is killing her, and a viewer could identify with this picture because everyone's been through some trauma, just like her.

The woman in this portrait looks sad and confused. The colors and the sharp edges add to the unhappy mood. To me, the painting of the weeping woman tries to represent how the woman is falling apart how hopeless she seems to feel. Another quality that I saw was the womans mouth. It looked like the woman's feelings were eating away at her. This portrait causes feelings of sadness, fear and confusion to me.

Weeping Woman
This picture of the weeping woman is a very intriguing one. It evokes a feeling of anxiety from me becuase of the terrified look on the woman's face. She looks like she is suffering greatly and in much agony. The blue porton of the picture shows her inner feelings while the other, more colorful, parts show a sort of exterior "mask" that she wears to hide her sorrow. Alos, the jumbled lines, mis-matching colors, disformed and misproportioned face, and the media chioce all contribute to a feeling of anciouxness and terror that is felt by the viewer. The paaindet was successful in creating a sorrowful, depressed, and chaotic picture that is conveyed very well through the artwork.

Emediently I am drawn into the picture through her sad and hopeless eyes. In the picture, it looks like she is hiding her sorrow inside her. On the outside she is wearing bright colors. But then in the center of the picture, near her mouth, there are sad blue colors. It represents the sadness coming out of her through her tears. She almost looks like she is holding her hands for security, almost as a defense against whatever is making her sad.

At first glance the art work is difficult to view entirely. In order to analyze it well, u have to dissect the different areas in the work. The woman in the portrait looks some what heartbroken. The intense hues outside her body make it seem as if she's trying to cover up her true emotions. The blue colors used around her mouth depict her inter wretchedness. Her facial expressions seem to be defeated by the emotional toughness. In addition, the angles and lines seem to draw the viewer into the center of the painting.

The painting emits feelings of sadness. The blue area and the shape of the mouth show that the woman is really upset and in a lot of pain. The many different colors of her head represent the feelings she wants/needs to portray while the blue tissue acts as a portal to reveal the contents of her soul. Her emotions are so strong that her tears break out from within from the colored parts of the painting. The abstract shapes that make up her head and hands represent how she feels like a "mess" and has many different personality traits. The big block of junk that sits atop her head can represent how she feels like her world is crumbling.

The woman in Picasso's painting seems to be deeply distraught about something that may have occurred recently. She is wearing somewhat cheery colors, so whatever happened has not been mourned for yet. The blue of the tissue seems to represent the sorrow that has been brought into the happy, bright, yellow-green room. The chaotic modge podge of figures and shapes sharply drawn in the tissue may also signify the harsh realities that have come into play. Realistically we do not change into these vibrant colors and contrasts, but the symbols portrayed in Picasso's work help to demonstrate the inner most feelings of the woman and all aspects we may not have seen in a mere realistic type of painting.
Her hands are touching her face with defense; she's hiding. However, we can see through her hands allowing us to see beyond what she intended for us to see. Her teeth are grinding and her chin is furrowed. When people are crying they gather their tension in their mouth. This painting is a great example of that tension. Her hair is composed, she's wearing makeup, and has a hat on. Her external wear contrasts with her face and hands. The hat draws in desired attention and her hands and face lead us to believe that she does not want that kind of attention. The background colors and the lower face and hands' colors also contrast in comparison.

This painting is very abstract and portrays the inner emotions that the woman is trying to hide. The Colors seem to make the painting even more dramatic.

In the painting "Weeping Woman", by Picasso, the main character, who is a woman, is extremely abstract. On the outside of her face, colors are warm and happy, such as yellow and green. The inside of her face though, contain blues, which are universally recognized as sad colors. I believe what this painting uncovers is that the woman may trick others into thinking she is happy, when really, deep inside of her she is sad and angry. Another emotion I picked up was nervousnes by the way she is clenching her teath.
The woman in this painting seems to be suddenly overcome with grief. She tries to hide it, but the pain and sorrow eats away at her inside until she can no longer hide it from the world. Her true "colors" begin to show and this is shown through the blue hankerchief in the painting. The woman's eyes are the first thing that you are drawn to when looking at the painting and they contain the most saddness compared to everything else in the painting.

The woman in the painting seems distressed and torn. She has a furrowed brow and her eyes are open in worry. The painting is a combination of two different people, what is seen on the surface and what lies underneath. On the surface, her makeup is done, she is wearing jewelry and almost seems presentable. Underneath however, the colors are all shades of blue and grey. This could represent internal sadness or worry that is masked by a composed outer appearance, or at least an attempt at one. Certain parts o the woman’s physical features are obscured and hard to differentiate. These parts could be ones that the woman has trouble using, or is refraining from using. Overall, the painting is a mass of confusion and overwhelming pain.
Picasso's "Weeping Woman" painting shows a distressed and distraught woman who is crying madly. She is holding some sort of tissue in front of her face, almost defensively, and the tissue is grey/blue in color. The rest of her face is comprised of darker shades of green and yellow. These green and yellow colors come to represent a happier part of the woman's life, while the deep grey color of the tissue shows the sorrow and emotion of the painting. Oddly, the woman's lips appear to be sort of peeled back, which vaguely resembles a corpse of some sort. This lady has obviously gone through some kind of ordeal that has left her life in shambles, and everything about this painting reveals this truth. -mromano Per. 3

In the painting "Weeping Woman", the woman looks almost as if the bottom half of her face is deteriorating. She also looks extremely sad and judging by the color of the clothing that she is wearing, it seems as if she is in mourning. Also, since she is holding a Kleenex tissue to her face she is obviously crying a lot because more than likely someone died.
When I first looked at this painting the center of it, her mouth jumped out at me. The sharp jagged edges were tarring the painting apart. The woman is clearly in plethora of pain. Her hands are attempting to hold her sorrow in, but the sorrow is to great and it comes oozing out of her mouth.
J. Johnston Per. 3
The "Weeping Woman" looked very miserable and it seemed like she was mourning. She was wearing all black except for her hat, which had some purple on it. The painting draws attention to the woman's eyes, which are very watery from crying. The blue handkerchief represented her emotions inside. It seemed like her clenched teeth represented nervousness of what was to come and that the blue from the handkerchief represented her sadness.

The picture Weeping Woman by Picasso has an overall sad feeling to it. The woman's eyes are watered with tears and they seem almost as if they are broken. The blue-gray area that is surronded with harsh black lines in the middle of the picture looks as if it is an x-ray that shows the womans inner feelings. The colors on the outside of the picture appear lighter and happier, but that is probably due to the extreme contrast with the interior. The way the lines are drawn in the middle area make it look like the life is getting sucked out of her and even the tissue as it becomes sharp and rigid.

-The woman in the painting looks as if shes in pain and in anguish.
-She seems as if shes living two lives one of surrealness and the other of agony.
-The lighting towards the middle of her face shows a bit of a cold and bitterness.
-Her eyes seem to emitt a bit of attention to the viewer.
-She looks nervous from the way her hands are placed.
-The painter gives her sharp features to allow the viewer to get clear image of the women.
-It seems as if she has told a lie and it is eating her up in the inside.
Response: MAronson
The bright colors in "Weeping Woman," are accented with dark shades, giving it an overall sad feeling. The wrinkling of her brow seems to show her anguish, as well as the blue coloring in the center of her face. Sadness appears to consume her from the inside out, tearing away at her flesh. She seems to be a woman who cares about her appearance(in looking at her clothes and makeup), but her grief is far too much to even hold that together.
In this piece I see a very scared woman. The picture makes me feel as if the woman is nervous, because the twinkle in her eyes and the tears that follow. The eyes to me are the first thing I saw, because of the shine they give off. It also looks as if she is biting on something like a piece of glass. Also from that I get that she is nervous. From the scared expression and the random positioning of the fingers and hands covering her cheeks show the fear or fright of the woman.
When I look at this picture I feel as if the artist was going through something fearful or nerve racking to create this piece. Artists are what their art is and art is what their artist's are.
The colors and hue demand the attention, because the warm colors that cover the outer most portion of her face and the cold colors that cover the inner most portion of her face. To me this indicates that the woman is hiding her fear and nervousness away from the world or the better or even other side of something.

This painting gives you very unique and abstract thoughts. If you look at it closely you can see the color contrast for the center ,were the mouth is, to the outer part of the picture. In the center you have this dark bluish kind of color that gives you the impression of a very deep sorrow. You can also notice that in the center the skin of the women seems to be peeling off . In comparison to the rest of the painting that area seems like the saddest part of the painting. On the outer half you do notice a sort of sadness but the women looks normal. Its as if the painter was trying to show the contrast of how the women was seen on the out side in comparison of how she truly felt in the inside.

This painting sows the emotions of the woman through the contrast of colors. The sadness and panic she feels is displayed through her eyes and the clenching of her jaw. She is also holding a handkerchief which symbolizes the terror she is experiancing.
HButler
The painting has many complex dimensions. The title speaks for itself in explaining the main idea of the painting. The way the painting was made so that the lines and thick and almost seem to be etched in makes it seem as if her pain and sorrow is etched int herself. Also the colors in the picture seem to represent that she is trying to hide her emotions and play it off as if all is fine . The way the outside of her face is brighter colors makes it seem as if she is happy. Then if you look at her charcoal eyes, and charcoal inner face you relize she is in emotional pain. Her clenched teeth and the way you can almost see her chin and cheek bones makes it seem as if her pain is eating away at her from the inside out.

This portrait of a weeping woman comes across as very ugly and unpleasant to look at. However, after closer examination, it is beautiful in all its different parts. Each facial feature is drawn out to show the most emotion. Also, the cold and warm colors show that he is mourning on the inside but trying to hide in on the outide. It looks as if her pain is eating away at her.

As I gazed at the painting, memories of sorrow, and sadness filled my mind. The overall image speaks of sorrow, yet if you compare the area around the mouth, with the rest of the painting, the contrast of brighter colors creates a sense of the woman hiding something. It were as if the color and the hands are to her mouth,all of which hide a deeper sorrow. The disfiguration could be a representation of different perspectives of her sorrow.

The colors in this painting are very interesting. The cooler colors can be found at the ceter of her face. Here it seems as if her skin has peeled off and reveals almost a skelatal structure. It appears that the brighter colors are used to grab the onlookers attention. Her face has a green tone which can commonle be interpreted as a sick color. There is a lot of dark shading in the bright colored areas and it symbolizes the how even though she may look bright from the outside she might be hiding something. She is holding some type of napkin to her mouth and it gave this picture a harder look, because the napkin looks very sharp and hard. Her eyes are very dark and are gloosed over, they also appear to be in a type of bowl as if they are ready to fall over and pour. Picassos painting over all is a picture of a women very upset and about to cry, but it seems as if she wants to hold it back.

When I see the painting it makes me sad. When I first saw it, it just looked like a disfigured face but then when I looked closer the painting became different in my eyes. The painting seems more real because her eyes show sadness but when you look at the mouth she is biting down on a handkerchief as if she is trying to hide the pain. The painting leaves me with an impression of sadness. The painting is sad but it is not painted with dark colors, there are some bright colors in it but how they're used it just intensifies the sadness in the picture.
While observing "Weeping Woman", I realized the harsh structure of her lower jaw. It appears as if she is very upset about a certain problem, and it is eating away at her inside. The harsh structure seems to be the bone of her jaw, where the flesh has been torn away from this problem disturbing her. The colors are also signifcant. Around her body, the colors are lighter and brighter, which may represent how she tries to be happy on the outside and acts as though everything is okay. The darker colors on the inside of her face may represent the cold harshness of how she truly feels and that her issues are litterally kept inside of her. Lastly, the weeping woman seems to be covering her face with a type of tissue or cloth. This can signify that she is uncomfortable with herself and quite self-conscience about what people will think of her if they find out the problems that she is hiding from society.

This women looks as if she has just lost the only love of her life. The colors, although contrasting, seem to blend together to form a perfect depiction of depression and despair. The many different colors and types of tears that she is crying represents to me as all the different sadnesses that she is dealing with. The shapes of her face, if anazlyzed piece by piece are just that, shapes, but combined together in this excact order and form creates the maximum amout of feeling behind this painting. For me, the thing that really brings the entire painting together is her eyes. Surrounded on all sides by lashes wth irises that give off the feeling that they are shaking and they give off a sense of utter hopelessness. I do not see anything but sadness when I look at this picture and I am not sure excatly how I feel about that, but I would surely love to know waht Picasso was thinking when he created this masterpiece of depression.
