Pablo Picasso project continued..

Three images that stood out to me from Pablo's work:
~ This piece is called the "Weeping Woman" and it follows a series of other paintings in the era of World War II. This image has many different meanings to it but it mostly focuses on the war. This woman is crying and scared of what is going to happen that is worse than this. It really made me wonder how people at that period of time went to sleep from all the bombings and the shooting outside of their homes.~









~Pablo painted this during the blue period and it is called "The Ironing Woman" which was a very depressing period after his dear friend shot himself in the head because a woman he loved rejected him. I relate this image to many of the women that are suffering from either financial issues or the abuse from their husbands. This woman seems like she is in a lot of pain and very sad but at the same time she has to take care of the house do what a woman is mostly known of doing.~
