I am an Architect in East London.Find me at www. stangerhouseplans.co.uk I work from home, mainly on domestic extensions and loft conversions.I also have a local painting studio: google Inky-cuttlefish in E17. My blog is about my recollections of art school in the 1990s, my progress or otherwise at the above-mentioned studio, about the e17 art trail which opens every September, and finally it is a chance to promote my architectural business

Making a macabre situation look good
The point about Gericault's picture,of course, is that the whole composition is artificial. His figures are all classically perfect, and the figure composition is a contrived pyramid, with its apex at the head of negro signalling to the ship on the horizon. If you still require visual proof of the disparity between art and life, compare those figures in his painting with my, admittedly less than perfect, proportions.
