Muybridge's

I spent hours doing this with Muybridge's majestic pictures of the West and street scenes of old New York.

Their persuasive thesis is that Degas, like many of his generation, was fascinated by the new medium of photography—he took photos himself—and that photographic precedents and conceptions, such as Etiènne-Jules Marey's and Eadweard Muybridge's dissections of movement, inform his work.

In addition to glass negatives, stereographs, proof prints and lantern slides, the exhibition also features Mr. Muybridge's only remaining zoopraxiscope, an apparatus he constructed in 1879 to project film.

His attempts at capturing movement are exhibited alongside the developing mediums of the era, including early film by the Lumière brothers and Eadweard Muybridge's chronophotography.

In 1872, San Franciscan Leland Stanford, an avid horse lover, commissioned the ingenious inventor Eadweard Muybridge to use Muybridge's newly invented photographic technology to establish whether a galloping horse flew when it ran - i.e., whether it ever had all four feet off the ground simultaneously.

The exhibition of photography pioneer Eadweard Muybridge's work is also well worth a visit before finishing the day in style with dinner at art-world favorite Hix in SoHo.

The exhibition also highlights Mr. Muybridge's 1877 and 1878 360-degree panoramas of the San Francisco skyline.

Perfectly timed -- coincidentally, I'm told -- to the Corcoran's blockbuster show of the 19th-century pioneer of motion studies (hands down the most bizarre and interesting museum show in a while), District artist Michael Mansfield riffs on Muybridge's movement studies in a solo show of digital video and works on paper.

When Mansfield applies one species's gait to another -- as in a stout bull with a horse's princess trot -- the uncanny results are as intriguingly odd as Muybridge's own work.
