EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 337. Boxing; Open Hand (Shoes)", captures a moment frozen in time from Eadweard Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion". The print showcases the early motion picture sequence technique that Muybridge pioneered, providing a scientific study of movement through sequential frames. In this particular image, two men engage in a fierce boxing match, their bodies captured mid-action as they spar with open hands. Both fighters are semi-naked, wearing only pelvis cloths to cover their modesty. Their intense expressions and muscular physiques reveal the raw power and determination required for this physically demanding sport. The composition is strikingly dynamic, conveying the energy and excitement of the fight. The clash between these two boxers is palpable as they grapple with each other in an epic battle for dominance. Each punch thrown and every move made is frozen in time within this single frame. Muybridge's photograph not only documents a sporting event but also serves as an artistic exploration of human movement and physicality. It invites viewers to appreciate both the technical aspects of photography and the beauty found within athletic performance. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this collotype on paper print offers a glimpse into history while showcasing Muybridge's pioneering work that laid the foundation for modern motion pictures.
