During Cubism artists stopped using perspective- which was a concept commonly used since renaissance.The use os geometric shapes and sharp lines to represent any image was highly used. Pablo Picasso

This is believed to be the painting of one of Picasso’s lover Dora Maar (photographer). This paiting represents a woman who is weeping all the time. It is a really good example of how much emotion can be revealed on a face. The tears roll down her cheeks changing colour- to a greyish white, which looks almost bone like. This could mean she weeps so much that the tears are corroding her skin leaving the bone visible. Her face is painted in yellow, which could mean she was cowardly and scared. Just looking at the image it is possible to feel the pain and hurt the woman in the painting is probably feeling.
