Rinke Dijkstra’s The Weeping Woman, was initially inspired by the ways in which school groups discuss art works on display at Tate Liverpool.

The schoolchildren are in a serious discussion regarding the meaning of Picasso’s painting. Unlike a conventional portrait in which the subject looks at the camera, they are engaged with each other, visually disconnected from the viewer.
