EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 442. Stooping, and Rolling A Stone on the Ground" captures a mesmerizing moment frozen in time. Taken by Eadweard Muybridge between 1872-1885 as part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" this collotype print showcases the beauty of early motion picture sequences. In this particular frame, we see a female figure gracefully bending down to roll a stone on the ground. The sequential nature of the image allows us to witness each stage of her movement with scientific precision. It is an exquisite study in human motion and demonstrates Muybridge's pioneering work in capturing movement through photography. The woman's nudity adds an element of vulnerability and rawness to the composition. Her nakedness symbolizes both physical freedom and artistic expression, challenging societal norms at that time. The juxtaposition of her delicate form against the weighty boulder she effortlessly manipulates creates a powerful visual contrast. This image evokes feelings of strength, determination, and resilience. As we admire this extraordinary photograph from Muybridge's collection, it serves as a reminder that art has always been intertwined with science. It invites us to appreciate not only its aesthetic qualities but also its contribution to our understanding of human locomotion. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print continues to inspire viewers with its timeless beauty and profound exploration into the world of motion capture photography.
