EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 314. Heaving a 20-lb Rock, 1885" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image is part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887. In this particular frame, we witness a powerful male figure engaged in an impressive display of strength and athleticism. With his muscular physique on full display, the nude man exerts himself as he prepares to hurl a hefty 20-pound rock through the air. Muybridge's collotype print beautifully showcases the early motion picture sequence technique that he pioneered during this era. By capturing multiple frames of movement in quick succession, he was able to create an unprecedented study of sequential action. The scientific nature of Muybridge's work is evident here as well. This photograph serves as both art and documentation, shedding light on human locomotion and providing valuable insights into the mechanics of movement. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this mesmerizing print continues to captivate viewers with its raw energy and meticulous attention to detail. It stands as a testament to Muybridge's innovative spirit and enduring legacy within the world of photography and science alike.
