Muybridge vintage photo studies

Eadweard Muybridge - Wikipedia

Muybridge is known for his pioneering chronophotography of animal locomotion between 1878 and 1886, which used multiple cameras to capture the different positions in a stride; and for his zoopraxiscope, a device for projecting painted motion pictures from glass discs that predated the flexible perforated film strip used in cinematography.[4] From 1883 to 1886, he entered a very productive period at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, producing over 100,000 images of animals and humans in motion, occasionally capturing what the human eye could not distinguish as separate moments in time.

Sorry for the poor quality of this photo of a photo of an oil painting that no longer exists. Many years ago I prepared a large canvas, came home from work with nothing in mind, painted a moody background and went to bed. The next day I came home from work, tired as always, and painted a demonic figure I saw in a Goya nightmare print, and went to bed. The next night I came home from work and painted the Swiss scientist who was the first person to take LSD and he had a hallucination that one of his hands was huge. The next night, after work, I painted a figure from a Diane Arbus photo. The next night after work I painted a running figure from a Muybridge series, The next a figure from a Siqueros mural. And on the seventh night after work, to balance it, I painted Liza Minelli in the right corner. More than anything else, it may have been a record of the kind of life I lived for so many years.
