EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 399. Emptying Bucket of Water" captures a mesmerizing moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. Taken between 1872 and 1885, this collotype print showcases Muybridge's groundbreaking work in capturing motion through sequential frames. Part of his iconic series "Animal Locomotion" this particular image belongs to Volume II, focusing on male subjects in various states of movement. The subject depicted here is a balding man, completely nude, caught mid-action as he empties a bucket of water with remarkable precision. The photograph exudes an air of scientific study and experimentation, highlighting the intersection between photography and early motion picture sequences. Each frame tells its own story within the larger narrative of human locomotion. With a splash frozen mid-air and an arc traced by the falling liquid, this image encapsulates both beauty and curiosity. It invites viewers to ponder the intricacies of movement while appreciating Muybridge's technical mastery. Currently housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA; this print serves as a testament to Muybridge's lasting impact on scientific photography. Gifted by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust, it continues to inspire awe among art enthusiasts who marvel at its timeless depiction of action and fluidity captured within stillness.
