Eadweard Muybridge Bücher
Eadweard James Muybridge war ein wegweisender Fotograf, dessen Arbeit unsere Wahrnehmung von Bewegung und bildender Kunst grundlegend veränderte. Sein innovativer Einsatz mehrerer Kameras zur Erfassung von Bewegung in Stop-Motion-Sequenzen legte den Grundstein für den Beginn des Kinos. Muybridges Studien der tierischen und menschlichen Fortbewegung, die für das menschliche Auge unsichtbare Details enthüllten, inspirierten Generationen von Künstlern und Wissenschaftlern. Seine Erfindungen und visuellen Forschungen prägen weiterhin unser Verständnis der Welt, und sein Erbe lebt in verschiedenen künstlerischen Ausdrucksformen von der Malerei bis zum Film fort.
