- The work, and image, of few artists is so instantly recognizable as Picasso. But what is it about this man that makes his creations so distinctive? Andrew Marr delves into the story behind his harrowing 1937 'barbed-wire face-mask’ painting, Weeping Woman, inspired by one of the most heinous war-crimes in history and shot through with the complicated nature of his relationship with women.

Never been a huge Picasso fan, but even I can see how extraordinary this painting is .
You have done it again, brought me to tears. I had written Picasso off because of his famously poor treatment of women - my disgust at that has not changed - but to understand these two paintings in their correct context has been eye-opening. Thank you very much.
Brilliant presentation of a fascinating subject. Now I am totally hooked on seeing the whole series.
I saw the Weeping Woman at Moma and it became one of my favorite paintings, (I bought a print and it hung in my classroom for 15 years.) Guernica was also at Moma, maybe at a different time. Anyway, thank you. I didn't know the background of the Weeping Woman. I appreciate knowing.
It seems that the figure in the center is hugging or shielding the figure on the right eye. Both the figures on the eyes have spiking hair while the dark head at her left shoulder seems to be amused by the scene.
The Weeping Woman also looks as if she is talking on the phone held to her left ear.
The one on her right eye has his/her left arm raised over its head and the one on the left eye has its right arm raised.
And, the black box like head, whose head is it supposed to be?
There are it seems to me three small persons on her face, two on her right eye and the third one on her left eye in a sitting position. That is what I am seeing especially when I put it above my head and it seems to be more pronounced especially when looked at with magnifying glasses . It may be far out for some. This is just an opinion of a non artist.
go sleep.....
