エドワード・マイブリッジのヌード写真は、科学と進化の新たな傾向を見せてくれます。アートにおける写真と科学調査の役割について、人体が与える革新的な観点についてなど討論もあり。〈全編英語〉
In the first sustained examination of these nudes and the remarkable success of their production, wide circulation, and reception, Indecent Exposures positions this revolutionary enterprise as central to crucial advancements of the modern era. Muybridge’s nudes ushered in new attitudes toward science and progress, including Darwinian ideas about human evolution and hierarchy; quickened debates over the role of photography and scientific investigation in art; and offered innovative perspectives on the human body. This fascinating story is copiously illustrated, and includes many lesser-known photographs published here for the first time.
