Gustave Courbet Desperate Man Hair Pulling Shout 1844 Poster
Hands yank at his hair as the Desperate Man shouts, eyes bulging. Black-and-white Courbet 1844 at full pitch.
Description
This poster presents Gustave Courbet's "The Desperate Man" (1844) in black and white: both hands pull upward at the crown of his head while wide eyes and an open mouth complete the howl, an open shirt at the neck. The upward composition feels electric and theatrical. For lovers of dramatic Romantic portraiture.
