Study of Weeping Woman, 1937 (After Picasso)
2014
A monumental work rendered in ink and charcoal on vellum, Robert Longo's *Study of Weeping Woman, 1937 (After Picasso)* reimagines Picasso's iconic image of anguish through Longo's signature hyperrealistic draftsmanship. The work amplifies the raw emotional torment of the original, translating Picasso's fragmented, Cubist distortions into a densely layered surface of stark blacks and luminous whites. Longo's meticulous mark-making transforms grief into something simultaneously monumental and deeply intimate.
