EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 762. Cockatoo; Flying, 1885" showcases the remarkable work of renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image captures a moment frozen in time, depicting the graceful flight of a cockatoo in mid-air. Muybridge's collotype print on paper beautifully conveys the motion and action of this majestic bird as it flaps its wings with elegance and precision. This particular photograph is part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series called "Animal Locomotion" published in 1887. The scientific nature of Muybridge's work is evident in this image, as he meticulously studied movement through sequential frames. His pioneering stop-motion technique laid the foundation for early motion picture sequences and revolutionized the field of photography. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, this print serves as a testament to Muybridge's mastery behind the lens. It was generously gifted to the gallery by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing photograph, we are transported back to a time when scientific exploration merged seamlessly with artistic expression. Through his lens, Muybridge captured not only an exquisite avian spectacle but also our collective fascination with capturing fleeting moments that would otherwise be lost to time.
