Picasso "Love & War" 1935-1945 at the NGV, http://www.ngv.vic.gov.au/, the man certainly followed a theme during this period....weeping men, weeping women....Guernica (a projection of this work, as it never leaves Spain)...but then his home was being torn apart by the Spanish civil war at the time, and while he was in Paris...then came the German occupation of Paris under the Nazi regime...
My favourite....a little lighter in topic...remind you of anyone (below)...Van Gough?
