Description from the seller
Muybridge, Eadweard - The Human and Animal Locomotion Photographs
XXL Book!
Unopened in plastic! Extremely rare!
This title discusses the grandfather of the moving image. English photographer Eadweard Muybridge (1830-1904) was a pioneer in visual studies of human and animal locomotion. In 1872, he famously helped settle a bet for former California governor Leland Stanford by providing photographic proof that when galloping, a horse momentarily lifts all of its legs off the ground. Muybridge achieved this feat by inventing a complex system of shutter releases that allowed him to capture freeze frames of the horse's gallop—conclusively proving, for the first time, that the horse does indeed lift all of its hooves in the air for a fraction of a second. Over the next three decades, Muybridge continued his quest to fully catalog many aspects of human and animal movement, shooting hundreds of nude or draped subjects engaged in various activities such as running, walking, boxing, fencing, and descending a staircase (the latter study inspiring Marcel Duchamp's famous 1912 painting). This splendid book traces the life and work of Muybridge, from his early thoughts on anatomy and movement to his latest photographic experiments, and is richly illustrated with his complete locomotion plates as well as biographical pictures and texts. The work of this icon of 19th-century photography, still highly relevant today, is most deserving of this long-overdue XL volume that will delight art and photography enthusiasts as well as horse lovers.
