EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 234. Lifting and Emptying Basin of Water and Turning, 1885" by Eadweard Muybridge, showcases a mesmerizing sequence of motion captured in time. The image is part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series called "Animal Locomotion" which was published in 1887. In this particular frame, we witness a young woman gracefully lifting a basin filled with water while turning her body. Her youthful smile radiates joy as she pours the water from a jug into the bowl below. With long flowing hair cascading down her back, she appears both elegant and determined. Muybridge's collotype print freezes this dynamic moment within his scientific study on movement. Each frame meticulously captures the fluidity and gracefulness of human locomotion, offering valuable insights into the mechanics of our bodies. The monochromatic composition adds to the timeless quality of this photograph, evoking an air of nostalgia for early motion picture sequences. It serves as a reminder that even before cinema existed, artists like Muybridge were pioneering visual storytelling through sequential imagery. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA, USA, this remarkable piece continues to captivate viewers with its blend of artistry and scientific exploration. Gifted by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust to enrich our understanding of photography's historical significance, it stands as an enduring testament to Muybridge's innovative contributions to both art and science.
