Publisher Synopsis
"Sarah Gordon's willingness to move beyond the technology and aesthetics of motion and discuss meaning found in the unique presentation of Muybridge's grids-and in the individual images-leads to a fascinating discussion of his true subject matter when photographing nudes: the artist's and viewer's gaze."-Philip Brookman, National Gallery of Art -- Philip Brookman, National Gallery of Art "Indecent Exposures offers a fascinating new look at photography and modernity, and also at the forces shaping late nineteenth-century American society and culture, including the dynamics of science, professionalization, the rise of university-based scientific patronage, class, and gender. It is a welcome contribution to the growing body of scholarship that is bringing photographic practices into the center of historical analysis." -Jennifer Tucker, Wesleyan University -- Jennifer Tucker, Wesleyan University "Sarah Gordon draws on a constellation of fascinating archival finds and inferences to offer a provocative and vital new interpretation of Animal Locomotion."-Robin Kelsey, Harvard University -- Robin Kelsey, Harvard University Read more...
