This soft enamel pin brings the drama and emotion of the masterpiece to your collection, making it a standout accessory for jackets, bags, or pin displays. Ideal for art lovers, collectors, and fans of classic European painting.

Gustave Courbet (1819-1877) was a French painter who led the Realism movement in the 19th-century, committed to painting only what he could see—real people and situations of his contemporary moment. 

His evocative self-portrait "The Desperate Man" (1843-45) plays with romantic stereotypes of artists, depicting himself as a tortured genius. His billowy white shirt and blue smock mark him as an artist, while his intense gaze, unkempt hair, and hands highlight his anguished state of mind.

While his later public persona was known to be proud and arrogant, this earlier emotional fragility stayed with the artist as he kept the painting with him his entire life.

A Reading of "The Last One"
Format: Paperback
This poem represents Merwin at his insidious best, the conversational tone of the poem slowly leading to something imminently and undefinably dark, doom-laden. The poem was originally published in "The Lice" a book of poems written in the French countryside where, Merwin says, "I felt at once a profound attraction to the rural world in which I was living and a disquieting recognition of the fragility and uncertainty of my relation to it." "The Last One" ominously conveys that disquiet.
