The Weeping Woman series is regarded as a thematic continuation of the tragedy depicted in Picasso's epic .

The Weeping Woman series is regarded as a thematic continuation of the tragedy depicted in Picasso's epic painting Guernica. In focusing on the image of a woman crying, the artist was no longer painting the effects of the Spanish Civil War directly, but rather referring to a singular universal image of suffering. Picasso's insistence that we imagine ourselves into the excoriated face of this woman, into her dark eyes, was part of his response to seeing newspaper photographs of the Luftwaffe's bombing of Guernica on behalf of Franco in the Spanish civil war on April 26, 1937.

For an interpretation of other pictures from the 19th and 20th centuries, see: Analysis of Modern Paintings (1800-2000). The "Weeping Woman" may also have a religious meaning. She may, for instance, symbolize the pieta - the anguish of the Virgin Mary, as she mourns the horrifying death of her son, Jesus Christ. The hand of the trampled corpse under the horse in Guernica, contained signs of Christ's stigmata, indicating martyrdom, so there may also be a religious dimension to this painting.

Of all of Picasso's artistic periods (and collections), this one is my favorite. And anyone who has been stunned by the emotional depth and symbolism of perhaps Picasso's most famous painting, the scene depicting Franco's devastation of the city of Guernica, this book will show you how it evolved as kernels of ideas in the great artist's mind.

These plates are the very embodiments of the grief and anguish we see in the faces of the people and animals in Guernica: empty hollow eyes, expanded dart-like but fire breathing nostrils, tongues that resemble knives, contorted torsos, hair unfurling like the tentacles of an octopus, disemboweled animals, etc. These are themes and symbols of anguished worked out to artistic perfection over a period of almost two years in Piccaso's mind. Each generation of Picasso's weeping women, represents a new modality of his emotional state as he prepared for the grand finale of Guernica. It hardly mattered that Marie-Therese Walter and Dora Maar, his two favorite Mistresses, were used as the canvas or backdrop for his "practice session" on the road to Guernica.

In our house, long before buying this book, we have had separate framed prints of each of these tormented ladies of the day and night gracing our living room walls. What is important about them is made imminently clear in this book of plates and expert annotation by Judi Freeman. There are no more secrets about them and their anguish once Ms. Freeman has done her thing: Picasso was on a mission; that mission was to express in the most profound way possible up to the limits of his considerable artistic abilities, what he felt about the massacre and atrocities committed by Francisco Franco, at Guernica. There is nothing here but controlled anger verging on madness oozing from frame to frame and from one modality to another. It is just one more gift, among so many, that Picasso has allowed us to share.

Judi Freeman takes us by the hand in this step-by-step evolutionary journey through the development of an artistic idea that leads to the emotional explosion we have come to know as Guernica. At once, Guernica reminds us both of what the best and the worse of our humanity is. And the artistic world since was never the same.

As we used to say once the cards in poker were dealt: "Read'm and weep," but be immensely enriched by the experience. Ten stars
