'The Desperate Man'


I chose to focus my project on the painting ‘The Desperate Man’ by Courbet. I wanted to look at the kind of situations people might feel ‘desperate’ about in today’s society and I thought the theme adultery would suit this image. The suit and tie imply that he is a working man but the lipstick on the shirt and his stricken expression symbolises him having done something forbidden and dangerous. 

The original image I worked from by Courbet, 'The Desperate Man' 
 

My own final studio shot image 

 
I was really happy with how the final image turned out and I think I successfully got across the idea I wanted to portray! Hope you like it.
