EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 77. Ascending Incline" is a remarkable piece of art captured by Eadweard Muybridge in 1872-85. The image, printed on paper using the collotype technique, measures 20.5x36.5 cm and is currently housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA. Part of Muybridge's renowned series "Animal Locomotion" this particular plate belongs to Volume III dedicated to Women (Nude). It showcases a sequence of frames depicting the motion and action of a female figure ascending an incline. Through his pioneering stop-motion photography, Muybridge delves into the scientific study of movement with precision and artistic flair. The photograph captures the sequential steps taken by the woman as she walks upwards on a slope or ramp. Her nudity adds an element of vulnerability and rawness to the composition while emphasizing her graceful ascent. The viewer can almost feel her determination as she strolls confidently towards higher ground. Muybridge's work revolutionized early motion picture sequences, laying down foundations for future developments in cinematography. This image serves as both a testament to his technical expertise and an exploration into human locomotion. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from Fine Art Finder courtesy of Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness not only a scientific study but also an exquisite blend of artistry and movement frozen forever in black and white perfection.
