Seated Male Nude 1908

"Seated Male Nude" is a 1908 etching by German artist Lovis Corinth (1858-1925), capturing the human form through a stark, expressive style. This piece showcases Corinth's mastery of line, employing hatch marks and cross-hatching to render the contours of the figure with a sense of both dynamism and vulnerability. The seated male figure is depicted in a moment of introspection, his head bowed, his body relaxed yet tense, suggesting a profound emotional undercurrent. This work, like many of Corinth's etchings, reflects his interest in the human condition and his ability to convey both physicality and psychological depth.
