EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 372. Acrobat, Horizontal Press Up" captures a mesmerizing moment frozen in time. Taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge between 1872 and 1885, this collotype print showcases his groundbreaking work on animal locomotion. The image features a strong and agile male acrobat performing a horizontal press up with remarkable precision. His naked torso glistens with sweat as he effortlessly balances his body weight on his hands, showcasing both strength and grace. Clad only in a loincloth known as a pelvis cloth, the acrobat's sculpted physique is accentuated against the stark background. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography is evident in this motion picture sequence captured through stop-motion frames. Each frame offers an intricate study of movement, allowing viewers to appreciate every subtle detail of the acrobat's performance. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this photograph is part of Muybridge's iconic series "Animal Locomotion". It serves as a testament to Muybridge's pioneering contributions to both art and science through sequential photography. Whether you are captivated by gymnastics or simply intrigued by early motion picture sequences, this powerful image invites you into an extraordinary world where strength meets beauty and human potential knows no bounds.
