EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 223. Stooping and Lifting Basin, Wiping it, and Turning" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. Taken between 1872-85 as part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" this collotype print showcases the graceful movement of a nude woman engaged in everyday actions. Muybridge's pioneering work revolutionized the world of photography and laid the foundation for early motion pictures. Each frame within this sequence reveals intricate details of the woman's body as she stoops, lifts a basin, wipes it clean, and turns gracefully. The scientific precision with which Muybridge captured these movements is evident in every nuance. The stark contrast between light and shadow adds depth to this study on movement. It invites viewers to contemplate not only the physicality but also the vulnerability inherent in our daily activities. The absence of color emphasizes the timeless quality of this image while allowing us to focus solely on form and action. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print serves as a testament to Muybridge's artistic genius and his contribution to both photography and science. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing composition today, we are reminded that even seemingly mundane actions can be transformed into art when seen through an artist's lens.
