Book Description
A pioneer in the art and science of photography, Eadweard Muybridge developed the use of multiple cameras to capture motion too quick for the eye to detect. This remarkable collection of his famous stopped-action photographs features 166 photographic sequences, in which men and women, mostly nude, perform a variety of motions—running, jumping, lifting, and other activities. Essential for artists, illustrators, and flash animators, these strips can be put to imaginative use in art and craft projects as well. Special Bonus: includes 10 Flash animations plus 15 photographic sequences that are ready to be animated.

River of Shadows
Author: Rebecca Solnit
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0142004103
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
A New York Times Notable Book Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Criticism, The Mark Lynton History Prize, and the Sally Hacker Prize for the History of Technology “A panoramic vision of cultural change” —The New York Times Through the story of the pioneering photographer Eadweard Muybridge, the author of Orwell's Roses explores what it was about California in the late 19th-century that enabled it to become such a center of technological and cultural innovation The world as we know it today began in California in the late 1800s, and Eadweard Muybridge had a lot to do with it. This striking assertion is at the heart of Rebecca Solnit’s new book, which weaves together biography, history, and fascinating insights into art and technology to create a boldly original portrait of America on the threshold of modernity. The story of Muybridge—who in 1872 succeeded in capturing high-speed motion photographically—becomes a lens for a larger story about the acceleration and industrialization of everyday life. Solnit shows how the peculiar freedoms and opportunities of post–Civil War California led directly to the two industries—Hollywood and Silicon Valley—that have most powerfully defined contemporary society.

Indecent Exposures
Author: Sarah Gordon
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 030021863X
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
Photographer Eadweard Muybridge (1830–1904), often termed the father of the motion picture, presented his iconic Animal Locomotion series in 1887. Produced under the auspices of the University of Pennsylvania and encompassing thousands of photographs of humans and animals in motion, the series included more than 300 plates of nude men and women engaged in activities such as swinging a baseball bat, playing leapfrog, and performing housework—an astonishing fact given the period’s standards of propriety. In the first sustained examination of these nudes and the remarkable success of their production, wide circulation, and reception, Indecent Exposures positions this revolutionary enterprise as central to crucial advancements of the modern era. Muybridge’s nudes ushered in new attitudes toward science and progress, including Darwinian ideas about human evolution and hierarchy; quickened debates over the role of photography and scientific investigation in art; and offered innovative perspectives on the human body. This fascinating story is copiously illustrated, and includes many lesser-known photographs published here for the first time.
