Artist Project 2

The Horse in Motion by Eadweard Muybrigde
    Eadweard Muybrigde was born in April9,1830. He used multiple cameras to capture motion and his zoopraxiscope. This artwork is called "The Horse in Motion". He took many different motion of the horse's moving. Many different moves of the horse presented angles of the horse. There are many distinguished moves to show how the horse react, run fast, slow down...and even stand still. Muybrigde tended to add motion to his artwork, not only to present the art but also to capture the move of animals. His idea was using motion to create a series of artwork from beginning to the end. It maybe leads to the idea of creating video arts later on.
