EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 254. Kneeling, Elbows on Chair, Hands Clasped" was captured by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge between 1872-1885. The image is part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" which aimed to study and document movement through sequential photography. In this particular print, we see a woman in a state of deep prayer or contemplation. She kneels gracefully with her elbows resting on a chair, hands clasped tightly together. The nudity of the subject adds an element of vulnerability and rawness to the composition. Muybridge's collotype technique beautifully captures each frame of motion in exquisite detail. This early form of stop-motion photography laid the foundation for future advancements in cinematography and animation. The scientific nature of Muybridge's work is evident here as he meticulously studies human locomotion and gestures. Through his lens, he transforms ordinary actions into artful moments frozen in time. This print now resides at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA. It serves as a testament to Muybridge's pioneering contributions to both scientific inquiry and artistic expression within the realm of photography.
