In the Drink: A Thanksgiving wine guide

Gallery Hop exemplifies progression of changes in art world
Did you know that, not too long ago, horses were thought to have all four legs extended outwards at full gallop? This stretched-out pose was common in artworks (and can be seen by Googling Alfred Pinkham Ryder's eerie work The Race Track), but artists and the equine industry argued about its absolute truthfulness in depicting a horse's movements. Then, in 1878, pioneering English photographer Eadweard Muybridge captured a horse in full gallop using motion-capture photography techniques. It showed that all four horse hooves do indeed leave the ground, but they're tucked under the body. Known as The Horse in Motion, Muybridge's photographs changed the visual expression of the horse, conforming the active painted image to photography's frozen moment.Send Us Feedback
