EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 208. Dropping a Fan and Stooping to Lift It, 1885" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image is part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, which revolutionized the study of movement through sequential photography. In this particular frame, we see a woman dressed in a virginal white gown with an elegant bridal train. She holds a delicate fan in her hand as she bends forward to drop it onto the ground. With graceful poise and precision, she stoops down to lift it back up again. Muybridge's collotype print beautifully captures both the fluidity and stillness of this motion sequence. Through his meticulous stop-motion technique, he reveals every subtle nuance of the woman's movements. This photograph not only showcases Muybridge's mastery of scientific photography but also highlights his artistic sensibility. The composition exudes elegance and grace while inviting viewers to contemplate themes of femininity, beauty, and human interaction with objects. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. , this print serves as a testament to Muybridge's lasting impact on both art and science. It invites us into an enchanting world where time stands still for just a moment before moving on once more.
