Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is a series of images showing a horse pulling a cart. The grid arrangement shows sequential shots of the horse's movement and the cart's wheels. The frames capture different positions of the horse's legs and the cart's wheels as they move. The composition experiments with motion and photography by displaying various moments in time in a linear layout.
