The Son Of Man

The Son Of Man is one an iconic self portrait painted by Rene Magritte in 1964. It depicts a man in a black overcoat with a bowler hat standing in front of a wall before the sea.

I don't really want to copy the image in my final piece, though I think I'll take elements and ideas from it. For example, the way the apple is covering the face but not completely is really interesting and I think I'll take this idea using another material or object. I also like the businessman attire, especially the bowler hat because it makes it feel very dystopian, like something from 1984. I'd like to bring a bowler hat into my piece to create a similar atmosphere.
