EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 1. Walking" captures a moment frozen in time from Eadweard Muybridge's groundbreaking series, "Animal Locomotion". The print showcases the collotype technique on paper, adding depth and texture to the image. Measuring at 18.4x38.9 cm, it is housed in the prestigious Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. Muybridge's work revolutionized our understanding of motion and paved the way for early motion picture sequences. In this particular frame from his Volume I dedicated to males (Nude), we witness a sequential study of movement as a man walks with purposeful strides. His nakedness adds an element of vulnerability and rawness to the composition. The subject wears a hat while strolling confidently through space, creating a sense of timeless elegance juxtaposed against his exposed form. This photograph serves as both artistry and scientific documentation; its frames capture each step meticulously, revealing nuances in human locomotion that were previously unknown. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back to an era where photography was still emerging as a powerful tool for exploration and discovery. It reminds us of the beauty found within scientific studies and how they can transcend their initial purpose to become works of art themselves.
