EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 247. Sitting Down Placing Feet on Chair" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. Taken between 1872-85, this collotype print showcases one frame from Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion". In this particular image, we see a woman seated on a chair, her body relaxed and at ease. With an air of nonchalance, she places her feet up on the chair as she enjoys a smoke. The nudity of the subject adds an element of vulnerability and rawness to the composition. Muybridge's work was not only aesthetically pleasing but also scientifically significant. His motion picture sequences revolutionized our understanding of movement and paved the way for modern cinema. Each frame in his sequential studies captured subtle nuances that were previously invisible to the human eye. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art in Phillips Academy, Andover, MA, USA, this print is part of Volume IV dedicated to women in Muybridge's comprehensive study on animal locomotion. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever - a testament to Muybridge's mastery as both an artist and scientist. It serves as a reminder that even simple actions can be transformed into art when viewed through the lens of innovation and creativity.
