EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 526. A, Lifting Ball; B, Emptying Bucket of Water" was captured by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge in 1872-85. The print showcases a fascinating early motion picture sequence from Muybridge's groundbreaking work on animal locomotion. In this particular frame from his series "Animal Locomotion". Volume IV dedicated to Women (Nude), we witness a sequential study of movement featuring a female figure engaging in various physical actions. From lifting a ball to emptying a bucket of water, Muybridge's stop-motion frames freeze these dynamic moments for scientific observation. The image captures the essence of athleticism as we see the woman stooping with her tennis racquet ready for action or bending down to kick or throw an object. It also portrays strength and endurance through weightlifting exercises and carrying heavy loads. Muybridge's collotype technique adds depth and texture to the photograph, enhancing its visual impact. This remarkable piece is housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Phillips Academy, Andover, MA, USA. As we gaze upon this extraordinary snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of Muybridge's pioneering contributions to photography and his profound influence on early motion pictures. Through his lens, he not only documented human movement but also unveiled new possibilities for capturing life itself.
