EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 132. Descending Stairs, Turning to Look Around & Waving Hand" captures a moment frozen in time by the talented photographer Eadweard Muybridge. Taken between 1872-1885 as part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" this collotype print showcases Muybridge's pioneering work in early motion picture sequences. In this particular frame from Volume III, we see a nude woman gracefully descending a flight of stairs. As she turns her head to look around, her hand waves delicately through the air. The sequential nature of the image allows us to study each movement with scientific precision. Muybridge's innovative approach to photography revolutionized our understanding of human and animal locomotion. His stop-motion technique captured multiple frames within one sequence, providing invaluable insight into the mechanics of movement. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA, this print is part of their collection thanks to a generous gift from the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. It serves as a testament to Muybridge's artistic vision and his significant contributions to both art and science. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness an elegant moment frozen forever - an exploration of motion and beauty that continues to captivate viewers today.
