Lot Essay

Marey's chronophotographs attempted to bring together in a single image information on movement, distance and time. In this respect, Marey's work is dramatically more complex and scientific than his contemporary Muybridge, whose interests tended to be purely in physical movement. Marey's images were sources for many later artists, including Bragaglia and Duchamp, as well as for the development of motion pictures.
