Athlete Muybridge Running Sequences Starting
EDITORS COMMENTS
Muybridge Running: A Pioneering Moment in the History of Athletics and Art This photographic print, titled 'Muybridge Running,' is a testament to a pivotal moment in both the history of athletics and photography. Taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge in the late 1800s, this sequence of images depicts an athlete in the act of starting to run, capturing the raw power and grace of human movement in a way never before seen. Muybridge, an Englishman living in the United States, is considered a pioneer in the field of motion photography. In the 1870s, he was commissioned by Leland Stanford, the governor of California, to settle a bet regarding the gait of a galloping horse. Using a series of cameras arranged in a line, Muybridge was able to capture the horse in motion, revealing that all four hooves were off the ground at various points during the gallop. Building on this success, Muybridge turned his attention to human movement, setting up a series of cameras to capture the movements of athletes in motion. The 'Muybridge Running' sequence is one of his most famous works, featuring a man in the act of starting to run. The images in this sequence, taken between 1878 and 1880, show the athlete in various stages of preparation and motion, from the slight tilt of his head and the set of his shoulders to the lift of his legs and the extension of his arms. These images were groundbreaking not only for their technical innovation but also for their artistic merit. Muybridge's work paved the way for the development of modern dance, animation, and even the study of biomechanics. Today, this sequence of images remains an enduring symbol of the beauty and power of human movement, inspiring artists, athletes, and scholars alike.
