THE HUMAN AND ANIMAL LOCOMOTION PHOTOGRAPHS. 45TH ED.","description":"\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnglish photographer Eadweard Muybridge (1830-1904) is 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 photographing a galloping horse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuybridge invented a complex system of electric shutter releases that captured freeze frames--proving conclusively, for the first time, that a galloping horse lifts all four hooves off the ground for a fraction of a second. For the next three decades, Muybridge continued his quest to fully catalog many aspects of human and animal movement, shooting hundreds of horses and other animals, --as well as nude or draped subjects engaged in various activities such as running, walking, boxing, fencing, and descending a staircase (the latter study inspired Marcel Duchamp's famous 1912 painting).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book traces the life and work of Muybridge, from his early thinking about anatomy and movement to his latest photographic experiments. Many plates of Muybridge's groundbreaking \u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eAnimal Locomotion\u003c\/span\u003e (1887) are reproduced here. In addition, Muybridge's handmade and extremely rare first illustrated album, \u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Attitudes of Animals in Motion\u003c\/span\u003e (1881), is reproduced in large part. A detailed chronology by British researcher Stephen Herbert throws new light on one of the most important pioneers of photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e512 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Taschen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67698708938989,"sku":"132577","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/6017\/5085\/files\/MUYBRIDGE.jpg?v=1791578792","url":"https:\/\/thehuntingtonstore.org\/products\/muybridge-the-human-and-animal-locomotion-photographs-45th-ed","provider":"The Huntington Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
