Dora Maar the Crying Woman in Picasso Painting

The crying woman was named Dora Maar, who was an accomplished photographer from Yugoslavia. She had long been considered the most whirling woman among Pablo Picasso paintings so many long-term mistresses or wives.  In 1936, when she was nearly 30 years old, she met the master 55-year-old Picasso. From then on to 1946, she was the most beloved lover of the master.

Crying Woman portrayed an extremely sad woman whose mournful fate and emotions were reflected by extensive colors and brushwork. Her eyes, lip, and nose appeared to be reversed and fragmented, which had the characteristics that the ordinary people hardly understood. 

Picasso made an evaluation to this relationship lasting for 10 years: in addition to cry, he had no memory of her. In the last 3 years of their relationship, in an annoying spring, lovingly pathetic female painter Francis Gino took the initiative to show love to Picasso and became the goodness of his surrealism paintings.
