EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 60. Running at a Half-Mile Gait (Shoes)", captures a moment frozen in time from the late 19th century. Taken by renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge between 1872 and 1885, this collotype print showcases his groundbreaking work on animal locomotion. The image depicts a man running with incredible speed and intensity, captured through Muybridge's innovative stop-motion technique. Each frame of the sequence reveals the fluid movement of the runner's body as he propels himself forward at a half-mile gait. The viewer can almost feel the energy emanating from his muscular form. Notably, the subject is clothed only in a pelvis cloth or loincloth, adding an element of rawness to this scientific study of movement. This artistic choice emphasizes both vulnerability and strength simultaneously, creating an intriguing juxtaposition within the composition. Muybridge's pioneering work laid the foundation for early motion picture sequences and revolutionized our understanding of human and animal motion. His meticulous documentation not only contributed to scientific research but also elevated photography as an art form. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, Massachusetts, this particular print offers viewers a glimpse into history while showcasing Muybridge's mastery behind the lens. It serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as one of photography's most influential figures.
