EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 373. Acrobat, Press Up From Chair" 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 in capturing motion through sequential frames. Part of Muybridge's iconic series "Animal Locomotion" this image is featured in Volume V dedicated to men's movements. The subject of the photo is a male acrobat performing an impressive press-up from a chair, displaying remarkable strength and agility. The composition beautifully highlights the acrobat's athleticism as he effortlessly balances on his hands while his legs gracefully extend towards the sky. His semi-naked body adorned with a pelvis cloth adds an element of vulnerability juxtaposed against his incredible physical prowess. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography revolutionized our understanding of movement and paved the way for early motion picture sequences. This particular image serves as both a study in human kinetics and a testament to human potential. Now housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and artistic significance. It stands as a testament to Muybridge's mastery behind the lens and remains an enduring symbol of strength, grace, and human achievement captured within one frame.
