The artist of the painting is Pablo Picasso. He is Spanish artist he is a very famous painter who had really many valuable paintings. During his lifetime, Picasso painted nearly 13 000 paintings. He moved to Paris in 1904 and stayed there until his death 1973.

He had many different styles he painted during his life but one of them was cubism and this style is reflected in the picture I chose. If you read various texts online you may also notice that somewhere you say Picasso's style because his style was so original it is general to hear art works called by that name.

I chose this picture because I like colorful paintings. This painting is a pretty famous Picasso painting and it caught my eye when I was looking for a work of art. In Picasso’s paintings there is something interesting when I look them something that I like very much.  

The painting shows a woman with tears on her face. Painting is called Weeping woman what means basically crying woman. In the picture you can't see anything below her face. I think the painting is cropped really well.

I think the message of the painting is to tell about the pain, sadness and suffering in the world. The painting was painted during the war which can tell why the woman is painted to look sad.
