Eadweard Muybridge
THIS ARCHIVED EVENT ENDED ON THE 16TH JANUARY 2011
Nearby Eadweard Muybridge

The pioneering British photographer Eadweard Muybridge, best known for his portrayal of subjects in motion, is the focus of a major retrospective at Tate Britain in autumn 2010. Born in Kingston upon Thames in April 1830, Muybridge studied photography in Britain and built his career in America. This exhibition brings together around 150 works, showing how Muybridge broke new ground in the emerging art form of photography. Alongside examples of his revolutionary motion-capture techniques and well known images of animals
and humans moving and running are less familiar landscapes and images of life in America during the later nineteenth century. Hugely influential, whole generations of photographers, filmmakers and artists, including Francis
Bacon, Marcel Duchamp, Jasper Johns, Cy Twombly, and Douglas Gordon have acknowleged their debt to Muybridge and his time-stopping images.
