About the article "The Weeping Woman", section "Dora Maar".

Candidate passages:
In August 1986 while the painting was still yet to be recovered, then Australian Treasurer Paul Keating was caricatured in a political cartoon as the " Weeping Woman", a cause of sorrow with the 1986 Federal Budget.
According to Patrick McCaughey, around about the same time "a philistine piece" was written by B.
A. Santamaria.
It urged that if the "Australian Cultural Terrorists" had in fact destroyed Picasso's work, they be awarded the Order of Australia.
Contemporary newspaper reports described the incident in terms such as "the so-called Australian Cultural Terrorist who nicked Picasso's "Weeping Woman" from McCaughey Mansions", a reference to the art gallery director and also to a popular radio show by comedians Roy Rene.
Chilean Australian artist Juan Davila painted a work titled "Picasso Theft" and offered to donate it to the National Gallery of Victoria in place of the stolen painting.
Davila wrote that "mine is a real one". 
The "Weeping Woman" series is regarded as a thematic continuation of the tragedy depicted in Picasso's epic painting "Guernica".
In focusing on the image of a woman crying, the artist was no longer painting the effects of the Spanish Civil War directly, but rather referring to a singular universal image of suffering.
The model for the painting, indeed for the entire series, was Dora Maar, who was working as a professional photographer when Picasso met her in 1936; she was the only photographer allowed to document the successive stages of Guernica while Picasso painted it in 1937. 
A famous event in the history of the gallery was the theft of Pablo Picasso's painting "The Weeping Woman" in 1986 by a person or group who identified themselves as the "Australian Cultural Terrorists".
The group took the painting to protest the perceived poor treatment of the arts by the state government of the time and sought as a ransom the establishment of an art prize for young artists.
The painting was returned in a railway locker two weeks later. 
Dora Maar was Picasso's mistress from 1936 until 1944.
In the course of their relationship, Picasso painted her in a number of guises, some realistic, some benign, others tortured or threatening.
Picasso explained:""For me she's the weeping woman.
For years I've painted her in tortured forms, not through sadism, and not with pleasure, either; just obeying a vision that forced itself on me.
It was the deep reality, not the superficial one.
""""Dora, for me, was always a weeping woman... And it's important, because women are suffering machines.""
The Rose Period comes from the time when the style of Pablo Picasso's painting used cheerful orange and pink colours in contrast to the cool, somber tones of the previous Blue Period.
The Rose Period lasted from 1904 to 1906.
Picasso was happy in his relationship with Fernande Olivier whom he had met in 1904 and this has been suggested as one of the possible reasons he changed his style of painting.
Harlequins, circus performers and clowns appear frequently in the Rose Period and populated Picasso's paintings at various stages throughout the rest of his long career.
The harlequin, a comedic character usually depicted in checkered patterned clothing, became a personal symbol for Picasso.
The Rose Period has been considered French influenced, while the Blue Period more Spanish influenced, although both styles emerged while Picasso was living in Paris.
Picasso's Blue Period began in late 1901, following the death of his friend Carlos Casagemas and the onset of a bout of major depression.
It lasted until 1904, when Picasso's psychological condition improved.
The Rose Period is named after Picasso's heavy use of pink tones in his works from this period, from the French word for pink, which is "rose".
Picasso's highest selling painting, "Garçon à la pipe (Boy with a pipe)" was painted during the Rose Period.
Other significant Rose Period works include: "Woman in a Chemise (Madeleine)" (1904–05), "The Actor" (1904–1905), "Lady with a Fan" (1905), "Two Youths" (1905), "Harlequin Family" (1905), "Harlequin's Family With an Ape" (1905), "La famille de saltimbanques" (1905), "Boy with a Dog" (1905), "Nude Boy" (1906), "Boy Leading a Horse" (1906), and "The Girl with a Goat" (1906).
The Rose Period was followed by Picasso's African influenced period, where his Proto-Cubist work took form.
The most famous painting from Picasso's African Period is Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, painted in 1907, which created a sensation among critics and the public when it was exhibited in 1916.
