EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 520. A, 98 and 100 Wrestling; B, 98 and 100 Wrestling" captures a mesmerizing moment of intense physicality frozen in time. Taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge between the years of 1872-85, this collotype print showcases his groundbreaking work in capturing motion through sequential frames. Part of Muybridge's iconic series "Animal Locomotion" this particular image is featured in Volume II titled "Males (Nude)". The subjects depicted are two men engaged in a wrestling match, their bodies beautifully sculpted as they grapple with each other. The raw power and athleticism displayed here evoke a sense of primal energy. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography revolutionized our understanding of movement and paved the way for early motion picture sequences. His meticulous study captured every nuance of action, making it an invaluable resource for scientists and artists alike. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print serves as a testament to Muybridge's artistic genius. It was generously gifted to the gallery by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. With its striking composition and timeless subject matter, this photograph invites viewers into a world where strength meets gracefulness—a visual symphony that celebrates both human form and the artistry behind capturing fleeting moments on film.
