Sixty of the best, most representative
sequences
from original 5,000 prints. Taken at speeds up to 1/6000th of a second, incredibly precise images show undraped
male
and
female
subjects against a ruled background, running, walking, leaping, twisting, throwing, many other activities. Views from front, rear and three-quarter angle.
one of the great wonders of photography
Muybridge's seemingly artless photography
sequences
are one of the great wonders of photography, fascinating & humorous. How else could one react to a series of photos showing a nude woman stepping on to a chair to pour cold water on to another? Or to two young men playing leap frog?
Here are rather average bodies - by contemporary standards - throwing baseballs, kneeling & turning, heaving rocks, crawling, descending stairs, walking, running, carrying buckets, attempting a somersault while a pigeon crosses the path. The backgrounds of graphs & lines not only provide the artist's units of measurement, but establish a visual continuity more modern than he could have known.
The
Male
and
Female
Figure
in
Motion
is a
classic
collection, beautifully produced & inexpensively priced. Great for artists & lovers of photography, this volume is part of Dover Publication's Pictorial Archive series, which means you are free to use them in your arts & crafts or post them on web pages. Dover also offers a companion collection of Muybridge's important animal locomotion photographs.

Great, but a tip...
Its all covered in "The Human
Figure
in
Motion
". If you want Muybridge, may as well get a more comprehensive volume, eh?
Good references for animation.
This book has a lot of photos for understanding human loco
motion
.
Review of 'The Male and Female Figure in Motion:.....
This book is a superb collection of still photos taken from films of various men, women and children doing just about any action one could think of. Extremely helpful for an artist, illustrator or animator as it provides a range of views of people in
motion
.
Strongly recommended.
