“ASKED to list the great British artists of the 19th century, few people would mention Eadweard Muybridge. Even if they named the great British photographers of the same period, after William Fox Talbot, Julia Margaret Cameron and Roger Fenton, chances are that most people might not quite remember Muybridge. Yet the legacy of the man first known as Edward Muggeridge, who was born English but who worked for most of his career in California, was central to art in the 20th century and is still vital today.”
