‘The model moved again!’ 19th-century French artist Edgar Degas is said to have exclaimed upon seeing yet another blurry portrait by his peer, the painter  Eugène Carrière, who seems to have cornered the market on smudging. This fascinating, wide-ranging  exhibition, examines ways in which 33 artists over the past 170 years have sought to capture movement in their work. And not just physical movement, which was Edward Muybridge’s focus in his pre-motion picture photographs, but also notions of fleeting time, changing moods, shifting interpersonal relationships and all other manner of instability. Six themes, 90 works in traditional and new mediums by great artists you’ll recognise and contemporary practitioners you soon will if you don’t already.
