I agree that its all about the "name" though....if you come from a prestigious art school, you are more likely to get rich by selling stuff than if you were self taught. Just the way of the world I suppose!

I think it looks like a painting by some insane person on LSD.
Personally I think The Weeping Woman emphasizes how distressed she is. In normal painting a lady with a tear rolling down her cheek makes her look sad, but Picasso's painting is trying to show how sad she is.... and I think it does!
If we all liked the same things we would all be living identical lives in identical homes, but what makes us all individuals is that we can like/dislike anything we choose.... would you like to remove that choice in art?

Oh, how I'd love to have some chimp paintings and then tell the experts that those were my paintings and see if I could get them to write rave reviews. I'd talk up a storm about the emotional/psychological content. Ha ha And after I got them committed, I'd let everyone know the paintings were done by chimps.
