Eadweard Muybridge at Tate Britain
Tate Britain explores the work of pioneering Anglo-American photographer Eadweard Muybridge (1830-1904) in this fascinating retrospective.
The exhibition includes more than 150 works, showing how the artist broke new ground in the emerging medium of photography.
Images on show range from Muybridge’s iconic photographs of motion to his sublime American landscapes.
Many artists have been inspired by Muybridge’s revolutionary techniques, including Francis Bacon, Marcel Duchamp, Cy Twombly and Jasper Johns.
About Eadweard Muybridge
Born in Kingston-upon-Thames in 1830, Muybridge studied photography before building his career in America.
In 1874, while living in San Francisco, he shot his wife’s lover, but was acquitted when the crime was classified as “justifiable homicide”. The story is retold in Philip Glass’s opera The Photographer.
Muybridge returned to England in 1894 and died in Kingston-upon-Thames in 1904.
