EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 307. Throwing An Iron Disk" captures a moment frozen in time from Eadweard Muybridge's groundbreaking series, "Animal Locomotion". Taken between 1872-1885, this collotype print showcases Muybridge's pioneering work in early motion picture sequences. In this particular frame, we witness a male figure engaged in the athletic act of throwing an iron disk. The subject's nude form adds a raw and vulnerable element to the composition, emphasizing the purity of human movement and strength. As part of Muybridge's scientific study on animal locomotion, this image serves as both a documentation of physical action and an artistic exploration of the human body in motion. The stark contrast between light and shadow enhances the dynamic nature of the scene while highlighting every muscle strain and exertion. It is through these sequential frames that Muybridge revolutionized our understanding of movement by breaking it down into individual moments. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this photograph continues to inspire awe with its timeless depiction of athleticism captured over a century ago. Its historical significance lies not only within the realm of photography but also as an invaluable resource for anyone interested in studying human kinetics or appreciating art that pushes boundaries.
