Apparently the style you see in The Weeping Woman was influenced by an incident which happened when he was younger. A girl was stuck by lightning and a local doctor carried out an autopsy on her. Having no experience of autopsies he started by cutting her face open to examine her, not the usually practice, and Picasso, along with several others, watched what the doctor did. This is what influenced this style of painting. I knew about Picasso's reputation with women and his objectifying of them. Not a nice person, to put it mildly.
