EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 662. Mule; A, B, A Refractory Animal Denver, 1885" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image showcases an early motion picture sequence of a mule engaged in an intriguing display of stubbornness and resistance. In this remarkable collotype print on paper, the mule stands as a symbol of obstinacy and immovability. Its unmoving stance is depicted with great detail and precision, allowing viewers to witness its refusal to comply with any form of persuasion or forceful action. The composition evokes a sense of scientific study and exploration as it presents multiple frames capturing the various stages of movement attempted by both human handlers and the animal itself. Each frame reveals their relentless efforts to push, pull, shove, or heave the mule forward without success. Muybridge's photograph not only serves as a testament to his pioneering work in stop-motion photography but also offers valuable insights into animal locomotion during that era. It invites us to contemplate the complexities of communication between humans and animals while shedding light on our own perseverance when faced with challenges. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA USA as part of Muybridge's iconic series "Animal Locomotion" this print continues to captivate audiences with its timeless portrayal of determination amidst resistance.
