There's more to Eadweard Muybridge (1830-1904) than a strange name
and the fact that he shot dead his wife's lover. Best known for his
sequence photographs of humans and animals in motion, the
'galloping horse photographer' has left a legacy of scientific and
artistic work that continues to influence visual media today. A
spinoff from the website The Compleat Muybridge, is Muy Blog on
Wordpress, keeping Muybridge enthusiasts up to date with what's
happening in the wide world of Muybridge and his images. This
souvenir selection is from the first four years of news, research
and comment. Read about the modern Profilograph bronze sculpture
technique that morphs a galloping horse into a four-dimensional
artwork, illustrating time as well as space. Follow the 1895
commotion about the hugely expensive folio Animal Locomotion: "not
one in twenty thousand would undertand it..." Enjoy the evocative
lyrics of "Good Evening, Major" - almost the last words that Flora
Muybridge's lover would ever hear - from the engaging video by the
band Accordions. Find out what connects Ronald Reagan, Muybridge,
and Death Valley. Enjoy the zoopraxographer's influence on the
cartoonists of the late 19th century. Follow the author as he goes
"In search of Helios." Was Eadweard Muybridge really 'The Father of
the Motion Picture'? Read about the exhibitions, the controversy,
and The Smartest Kid on Earth. Catch up with Muy Blog in this handy
printed form.
