基本説明
Analysing Muybridge's prodigious output principally through the photographer's own scrapbook, a multidimensional and unprecedented "memory book" that was created in the final years of his life, this book illuminates his influence on twentieth-century artists like Francis Bacon, his role in the origins of cinema, and his early prefiguring of the digital world.
Full Description
Much of contemporary visual culture can be traced directly to the work of Eadweard Muybridge, photographer and film pioneer. In Muybridge: The Eye in Motion, Stephen Barber analyses Muybridge's prodigious output principally through the photographer's own scrapbook, a multidimensional and unprecedented 'memory book' that was created in the final years of his life. Intended for readers and students of film and art history, this is the first-ever study focused directly on the relevance of Muybridge's work for contemporary digital cultures.
