was the subject of many paintings by her lover, Pablo Picasso. Tate Modern's Weeping Woman is one of an eponymous series of jagged, vibrant, howlingly anguished portraits. It was during a residency at the gallery that Grace Nichols was inspired to find a voice to express the feelings behind, and within, the painted face. The resulting sequence, 20 interlocked monologues of varying shapes, is itself somehow Cubist, in that it depicts many angles and sides of the subject's emotional life.from Carol Rumens: The Guardian: Books blog: Poem of the week: Weeping Woman by Grace Nichols
