Of all the weeping woman paintings T05010 is the most complex compositionally, the most heavily stylised, the most geometrically fragmented and the most highly coloured. The painting “Weeping Woman” is a very vivid example of it.

It was a deep reality, not the superficial one’ (Françoise Gilot and Carlton Lake, Life with Picasso, New York 1965, p.119). Furthermore, Dora Maar has spoken of her emotional vulnerability and frequent upsets during this period when she was ‘deeply hurt by sadness and disorder’, admitting that Picasso may have found his inspiration in this behaviour (conversation with the compiler, 27 April 1990). The comparison is usually not literal and the two things might be vastly different. Pierre Daix (Daix 1987, p.257) and Brassai (Brassai 1967, p.45) refer to Maar's painted finger nails and later portraits of Maar depict her wearing elaborate hats sufficiently often to suggest that this was her custom. ibid., p.143) is, of all the paintings, closest to T05010.

The news of the devastation of the historic Basque town of Guernica first reached Paris on 27 April, the evening following the bombing, in a broadcast from Radio Bilbao. McCully argues that, ‘In their essence as images of art, their emotional power lies in their origins among the painted wood, life-sized statues of the Madonna carried in Spain in religious processions, whose tears are jewels that sparkle as they run down their cheeks, and whose garments are real lace, velvets and silver - at once real and other worldly’ (McCully 1989, p.13). cat., 1981, p.89, 3 June 1937, pencil, crayon and gouache on paper 232 × 293 (Zervos IX 1958, no.41), repr.

Kaufmann argues that this fascination with primitive symbolism, shared by the Surrealist writers Michael Leiris, Georges Bataille, Robert Desnos, and frequently explored in the pages of Cahiers d'art, was the key to Picasso's relationship with Surrealism rather than any interest in Freudian methods of free association or dream interpretation. As in the poem accompanying ‘Dream and Lie of Franco’, Picasso here evokes the imagery of tears in words before its emergence in visual form. The etchings were not completed until 7 June, three days after the completion of “Guernica” and at the same time as Picasso's almost daily exploration of the weeping woman motif, “Guernica's” most enduring “postscript” (Barr 1946, p.206).
