Muybridge proves the Greek
sculptors were correct, and explains the cinema. Time and motion studies, if
you like (Hiroshige painted sparrows in flight). Always there’s something
like admiration for his photographs, without knowing why exactly. And the
answer is right before the eyes all the time in these sculptures looked at
all round depicting the unanalyzable quotidian. And before all this, his
large unknown landscapes, prefiguring Ansel Adams but eschewing abstraction
for the facts of the matter. |
