Pablo Picasso Nude Standing By the Sea
Considered a Surrealist piece, through rearrangement of the anatomical form and distortion of the human body. It creates an ambiguous sculptural mass which barely resembles a human. Possibly reflective of the inner turmoil he was feeling while divorcing his wife and going through his affair.
Thomas Crawford Dying Mexican Girl This piece totally reminded me of the Dying Gaul, and the iconography is virtually identical here. Both were wounded in battle and are lying down clutching their wound, preparing to die. 
Kouros The rigid stance with the left foot in front is derived from Egyptian art, and illustrates a great understanding of anatomy and human form, yet basic in comparison to later pieces such as Laocoon. .jpg)
