Eadweard Muybridge - Tate Britain
The exhibition presented the full range of Muybridge's works. I remembered that his works were my inspiration of the second year's project. I took the inspiration from his works which were "Horse in Motion". Most famous for his pictures of race horses. He experimented with the possibilities of creating images of animals and humans in motion. Also there are vast panoramas of American landscapes, such as the Yosemite Valley, and his documentation of the rapidly growing west coast of America, particularly in San Francisco has been an important historic record of the times. I surprised that he was not only renowned for taking photos of the American landscape but only the motion photography.

Clive Head: Modern Perspectives
I was thrown into confusion because the paintings were exactly look like pictures. He's paintings are about space. Along with large scale cityscapes including depictions of london landmarks Piccadilly Circus and Trafalgar Square. He uses the camera as a tool when devising his compositions so he displayed his picutres as well. A painting such as "Haymarket" presents a pan of nearly 300 degrees and encompasses views are impossibleto see from one single spot. He rejects its static single point perspective and creates an open and dynamic sense of space.
