Look at this painting (Gustave Courbet’s “The Desperate Man”). What do emotions do you think Courbet is trying to show, and how does he achieve it?

Emotions: Fear, anguish, pain, desperation, anger, shock, horror.
How does he do so?
Figure: wide open eyes, hands running through hair, dishevelled, loose clothing.Composition: very close to face, looking directly at audience.colour: Dark colour scheme, pale skin. Stack contrast between hair, and white of eyes. Blue scarf could denote sadness.
