I've had a tendency over the years to post several panels at a time of images of Eadweard
Muybridge's motion studies to give some indication of the flow of movement. (I've
even posted a few GIFs as well.) Today, however, I'm putting up some of my
favorite single frames, starting with a muscular young man putting the shot.
Thank you for another series of Mr Muybridge's wonderful work. I think that it was so very wonderful that he had naked men in so many of his photographs.
ReplyDeleteYou're quite welcome, Gerald. I would only add that the range of ages, sizes, and races in his work makes it even more special.
DeleteAs ever, so evocative. These young men worked very hard to give us these still so splendid images. I did have various means to decode who is who..
ReplyDeleteThere are some records associated with the University of Pennsylvania that identify some of the models. Also, Larry over at The Unashamed Male has a great collection of identified Muybridge models.
DeleteSomewhere I I have a year class photo from University of Pennsylvania annotated with their Muybridge model numbers.
DeleteMany thanks Jerry. I found Larry's excellent collection.
DeleteNo problem at all, David.
