According to Picasso he had explained that “It was the deep reality, not the superficial one...Dora, for me, was always a weeping woman and it’s important because woman are suffering machines.” Although the art piece had a lot of meaning behind it, the reason I believe it became as famous as it did was due to Picasso’s use of cubism.
