EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 389. Farmer, Scattering Seed" captures a moment frozen in time from Eadweard Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion". Taken between 1872 and 1885, this collotype print showcases Muybridge's pioneering work in early motion picture sequences. Measuring at 12.9x46 cm, the image depicts a male farmer engaged in the timeless act of sowing seeds. The sequential frames beautifully capture the fluidity of his movements as he scatters seed across the land with precision and purpose. This scientific study of movement not only highlights the laborious nature of agriculture but also serves as an homage to human ingenuity. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print is part of Volume II of Muybridge's monumental project "Animal Locomotion". It was generously gifted to the gallery by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. The nudity depicted in this photograph adds an additional layer of vulnerability and rawness to its composition. Stripped down to his bare essence, the farmer symbolizes our intimate connection with nature and our reliance on manual labor for sustenance. Muybridge's innovative approach to photography revolutionized how we perceive motion and paved the way for future advancements in cinema. This particular image stands as a testament to both artistic vision and scientific exploration within one frame—a true masterpiece captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art
