AS Art Energy Power Dynamism Muybridge





Eadweard Muybridge was an English Landscape photographer who while in America in 1872 was asked by American Horse Breeder to settle an arguement about Horse movement. Using a bank of 12 cameras Muybridge produced series of photos that showed the stages in a movement.

Muybridges series of photos freezing movement were meant as an means of analysing movement, though he quickly realised the prints could be fixed in a zootrope to create a simulated moving image. By 1878-1880 technogy enabled the beginning of moving film,

Tom Hussey Photographer

Photographer who prodiced a series of images for a campaign to raise awareness of Alzheimer's. His photos show people who remember the past clearly but are forgetting the present. The reflections are showing what the person is thinking

Tom Philips

Tom Philips is an artist not a photographer. The shots in his ongoing project 20 Sites n Years are just snapshots, badly cropped passers by, badly parked cars that block the views and even a passing tank appear in his shots of London locations. What is impressive is the fact that for the last 38 years he has taken 20 shots at the same time on the same day each year - and it is the slow change over time that is impressive

Edexcel GCSE Art Exam 2016 Past Present And Or Future Stanley Spencer The Resurrection Cookham



The Resurrection Cookham 1924 - 27

Spencer believed that the divine rested in all creation. He saw his home town of Cookham as a paradise in which everything is invested with mystical significance. The local churchyard here becomes the setting for the resurrection of the dead. Christ is enthroned in the church porch, cradling three babies, with God the Father standing behind. Spencer himself appears near the centre, naked, leaning against a grave stone; his fiancée Hilda lies sleeping in a bed of ivy. At the top left, risen souls are transported to Heaven in the pleasure steamers that then ploughed the Thames

The sculptures look just like traditional “historical” markers and plaques but instead of highlighting a civil war battle or the birthplace of a famous person, they highlight a contemporary social or political issue, adding the weight of historical importance to today’s concerns
