EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 78. Ascending Incline, Flirting A Fan" captures a mesmerizing moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. Taken between 1872 and 1885, this collotype print showcases Muybridge's groundbreaking work on animal locomotion. Part of his iconic series "Animal Locomotion". Volume III: Women (Nude), this image is a testament to Muybridge's scientific approach to photography. With meticulous attention to detail, he presents us with a sequential study of movement as a woman gracefully ascends an incline while flirtatiously fanning herself. The stark contrast of light and shadow adds depth and drama to the composition, emphasizing the woman's nude form against the backdrop of the ascending slope. Through stop motion frames, Muybridge captures every subtle nuance of her body in motion, creating an early motion picture sequence that was ahead of its time. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA, USA, this print serves as a reminder of Muybridge's pioneering contributions to both art and science. It invites viewers to appreciate not only the beauty and elegance captured within each frame but also the technical mastery behind it. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to witness a fleeting moment frozen forever—a testament to human creativity merging with scientific exploration.
