EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 309. Throwing the Hammer, 1885" captures a moment frozen in time by the pioneering photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image is part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, specifically Volume II dedicated to male subjects. In this particular frame, we witness a powerful man engaged in an athletic act - throwing the hammer. His muscular physique is accentuated as he twists his body with force and precision, showcasing both strength and agility. The nudity of the subject adds to the rawness and vulnerability captured in this scientific study of movement. Muybridge's collotype print technique beautifully renders every detail of this early motion picture sequence. Each frame meticulously documents different stages of action, providing invaluable insight into human locomotion for scientific purposes. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA; this print serves as a testament to Muybridge's contribution to photography as well as his influence on future filmmakers and animators alike. This striking image invites viewers to contemplate not only the physicality but also the artistry behind capturing motion through sequential frames. It stands as a timeless reminder that even seemingly ordinary actions can be transformed into extraordinary works of art when viewed through Muybridge's lens.
