EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 341. Boxing; Open Hand" captures a moment frozen in time from Eadweard Muybridge's groundbreaking series, "Animal Locomotion". Taken between 1872 and 1885, this collotype print showcases the early motion picture sequence that revolutionized the way we perceive movement. In this particular frame, two men engage in a fierce boxing match. Their bodies are captured mid-action as they spar with open hands, their muscles taut with anticipation. The intensity of the scene is heightened by their semi-nakedness, clad only in pelvis cloths that accentuate their physical prowess. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography is evident here as he meticulously documented every aspect of human locomotion. This image serves as both a study of movement and an artistic expression of raw athleticism. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the composition while emphasizing the dynamic nature of the sport. Each punch thrown represents not just physical combat but also a clash of wills and determination. As we gaze upon this powerful photograph, we can almost hear the sounds of fists connecting with flesh and feel the adrenaline coursing through our veins. It reminds us that boxing is more than just a sport; it is an art form where fighters confront each other head-on in battle for glory. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA, USA, this print stands as a testament to Muybridge's pioneering work in capturing motion through
