Male Cadaver (The Drowned Man) 1909

Umberto Boccioni's "Male Cadaver (The Drowned Man)" is a powerful and evocative lithograph created in 1909. The artwork depicts a nude male figure lying supine, with his limbs contorted in a death-like pose. The artist's distinctive use of bold, expressive lines and hatching contributes to a sense of emotional intensity and the figure's form seems to dissolve into the surrounding space. This piece is an example of Boccioni's early exploration of Futurism, a movement that sought to capture the dynamism and energy of modern life.
