EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Animal Locomotion" (plate 493), captured by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge in 1887, we are presented with a fascinating sequence featuring a woman dressing. This mesmerizing image offers us a glimpse into the intimate act of clothing oneself, while also showcasing the intricate details of fashion and clothing from that era. The composition centers around a chair, which serves as an element of support for the woman during her dressing routine. The chair itself is beautifully crafted, exemplifying its purpose as part of furnishings for civic spaces. Its elegant design adds to the overall aesthetic appeal of this photograph. As our eyes wander through this image, we cannot help but be drawn to the female subject who stands nude before us. Muybridge's portrayal captures both vulnerability and strength in her posture and expression. Through his lens, he immortalizes not only her physical form but also evokes emotions associated with femininity and self-expression. This portrait transcends time and becomes more than just an artistic representation; it becomes a reflection on human nature itself. It reminds us that despite changing trends and evolving societal norms, there remains an inherent beauty in embracing one's body and adorning it with carefully chosen garments. Muybridge's masterful technique allows us to appreciate every detail within this photograph – from the delicate folds of fabric cascading down her figure to the subtle play between light and shadow that accentuates her features. As we contemplate this remarkable piece from Alinari's collection, let us immerse ourselves in its timeless allure while appreciating how art can capture fleeting moments like these forever etched in history.
