$100,000 prize for sports artist Aug 1, 2008
"I asked Christopher, who's one of my oldest friends - we met at an athletics club when we were nine. He was the perfect combination of best friend, runner and professional actor. So he got on the treadmill ... we had six goes and, of course, the last was the one." Crooks's work may concentrate on the finishing line, but it also takes a telescopic view of film in art and sport, particularly the motion-analysis of the 19th-century pioneers Etienne-Jules Marey and Eadweard Muybridge and, indeed,...

Modern design through the view finders Feb 24, 2008
Perhaps, too, there is a reminiscence of the stop-motion serial images of Eadweard Muybridge and other early photographers. And for this viewer the tracery of black lines over rich colors can't help evoking the stained glass window of a cathedral. (Boston Globe)

Revealing landscapes and the poetry of motion Jul 19, 2007
Stop-action images The motion studies of Eadweard Muybridge (1830-1904) and Harold E. "Doc" Edgerton (1903-1990) are legendary. Muybridge used multiple cameras to prove that a horse lifted all four feet off the ground in mid-gallop, among other things. (Boston Globe)
Early Film's Influence On Art May 14, 2007
A series of still shots photographed and animated by Eadweard Muybridge was commissioned by railroad tycoon Leland Stanford to help him figure out how to choose good racing horses. "Muybridge then began attacking all of the horse painters who had ever lived, saying, OK, you've gotten it all wrong, this is not the pose of legs in this particular trot or this gallop, and you have imposed your own imperfect human eye on something that the camera can see much better," she said.

Sol LeWitt, a Modern Master, Left a Vibrant Mark on the County Apr 13, 2007
Mr. Carretta described Mr. LeWitt as a "pretty down-to-earth, regular guy. You would not know if you met him his stature in the art world. When we did go to lunch, he usually talked about his kids.

He recalled the work schedule the young artist, who then worked... (Litchfield County Times, CT)
Sol LeWitt, 78, sculptor and muralist Apr 10, 2007
LeWitt also took a keen interest in the sequential studies of animal motion made by the English-born California photographer Eadweard Muybridge (1830-1904). But Minimalism was a watershed partly because it represented something entirely new: It was the first art movement of international significance forged exclusively by American-born artists.

Landscape And Dreamscape Mar 22, 2007
From early panoramic vistas by Eadweard Muybridge and Robert Vance to the rapturous nature imagery of Adams and Edward Weston to contemporary artist Richard Misrach's Death Valley meditations and Catherine Opie's swooping freeway ramps, the West is perpetually reinvented, re-examined and remade through the photographer's lens. Two current shows register the range and complexity of photography in the West. (San Francisco Chronicle -- Entertainment)
