What artists study figures in movement? or just figures in general?

0 votes
For my A2 art course i'm looking at the study of human figures in motion, I've been looking online and found it really hard to find artists so I was wondering if anyone knew and good artists to look at? Oh and preferably drawers/painters.
Bearing in mind i've already included Edward Degas who paints ballerinas and a woman I found called Carol Carter who paints swimmers.

I will be going to the library tomorrow to see if there's any artists I can find there but yeah this would be a great help if anyone has any suggestions!
