Standing Figure 1913

"Standing Figure" is a 1913 drawing by the Hungarian artist Elemér de Kóródy. The work, housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, depicts a figure in a simplified, geometric style characteristic of Cubism. Kóródy, who died young in 1918, was active in the early 20th-century avant-garde, exploring the fragmentation and abstraction of the human form in his works. The graphite drawing showcases the artist's bold lines and geometric shapes, capturing the dynamism and energy of the figure through a unique Cubist lens.
