EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 194. Dancing, 1885 captures a mesmerizing moment frozen in time by the pioneering photographer Eadweard Muybridge. This collotype print showcases a graceful female dancer in mid-spin, her diaphanous white dress billowing around her as she moves with ethereal elegance. Muybridge's groundbreaking work on animal locomotion and motion studies led to the development of early motion picture sequences. In this particular image from his renowned series "Animal Locomotion" he focuses on the beauty and fluidity of human movement. The photograph exudes a sense of romance and freedom, as the dancer appears weightless, almost floating above ground. Her outstretched arms create an illusion of flight, while her translucent dress adds an element of delicacy to the composition. Through meticulous stop-motion techniques and sequential frames, Muybridge captures every subtle nuance of the dance. The viewer is transported into a world where time stands still, allowing us to appreciate both the technical precision and artistic expression inherent in this form of performance art. This collotype print is part of the collection at Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA. It serves as a testament to Muybridge's scientific approach to photography while also highlighting his ability to capture moments that evoke emotion and inspire awe.
