EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 69. Running Two Models" captures a moment frozen in time from Eadweard Muybridge's groundbreaking series, "Animal Locomotion". Taken between 1872 and 1885, this collotype print showcases Muybridge's pioneering work in early motion picture sequences. Measuring at 20.3x36.4 cm, the image is housed in the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. The photo features two young boys running with an incredible sense of energy and freedom. Their nude bodies symbolize innocence and purity while emphasizing their raw athleticism. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography is evident as he meticulously studied movement through sequential frames. This particular plate exemplifies his dedication to capturing motion accurately for scientific analysis. The dynamic composition invites viewers into a world where action unfolds before their eyes. It evokes a sense of curiosity about what led these boys to run – perhaps they are engaged in a playful chase or participating in a sport together. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are reminded of the power that photography holds to freeze moments that would otherwise be lost forever. Muybridge's work continues to inspire generations of artists and scientists alike, making him an influential figure in both art history and the study of human locomotion.
