EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 488. A, Lawn Tennis; B, Dumb Bells; C, Walking on Hands" captures a mesmerizing moment frozen in time. Taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge between 1872 and 1885 as part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" this collotype print showcases the beauty of human movement. In this particular frame from Volume II of Muybridge's work, we witness a male figure engaged in various physical activities. The first image depicts him playing lawn tennis with intense focus and agility. In the second frame, he lifts dumbbells effortlessly, showcasing his strength and determination. Finally, in an awe-inspiring display of acrobatics, he walks on his hands with remarkable balance and grace. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography revolutionized our understanding of motion and paved the way for early motion picture sequences. Each frame captures a precise moment within a sequence that would otherwise be imperceptible to the naked eye. The stark contrast between light and shadow adds depth to this composition while emphasizing the athleticism of the subject. This photograph serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable study tool for scientists interested in human movement. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. , USA. , this print is part of their collection thanks to the generous gift from Edwin J. Beinecke Trust.
