Analysis of modern and contemporary artists' appropriations of or defections from Leonardo's Vitruvian Man. The 20th century avant-garde challenged the symbolic value of Leonardo da Vinci's design of the Vitruvian Man by opposing to it other and more modern pictures, such as the walking Man or the running man of the Italian Futurists, the eccentric human body of the Russian Futurists, or the dancing body of the French Cubo-Futurists.
