"English photographer Eadweard Muybridge (1830-1904) is a pioneer in visual studies of human and animal locomotion. This book traces the life and work of Muybridge, from his early thinking about anatomy and movement to his latest photographic experiments"--From dust jacket flap.

Le photographe anglais Eadweard Muybridge (1830-1904) fut un pionnier de l'étude visuelle des déplacements humains et animaux. En 1872, il aida à résoudre l'objet d'un pari pour le gouverneur de Californie Leland Stanford en donnant la preuve photographique que toutes les pattes du cheval quittent en même temps le sol durant le galop. Muybrige réussit ce tour de force en inventant un système complexe d'ouverture d'obturateurs simultanés qui lui permit de saisir des clichés du cheval au galop. Ensuite, Muybridge poursuivit son étude des mouvements humains et animaux dont il fixa de nombreux aspects sur pellicule, prenant des centaines de clichés de nus ou de modèles drapés s'adonnant à des activités aussi diverses que la marche, la course, la boxe, l'escrime et la descente d'escalier. Ce livre retrace sa vie et son oeuvre, depuis ses premières réflexions sur l'anatomie et le mouvement jusqu à ses ultimes expériences photographiques, et est richement illustré de ses planches complètes de clichés sur le mouvement, ainsi que d' images et de textes biographiques.
