EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 262. Getting out of Hammock" captures a mesmerizing moment frozen in time. Taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge between 1872 and 1885, this collotype print showcases his groundbreaking work in capturing motion through sequential frames. Part of Muybridge's iconic series "Animal Locomotion" this particular image belongs to Volume IV dedicated to women. The subject is a nude woman gracefully emerging from a hammock, her body captured in exquisite detail as she navigates the delicate balance between recline and standing. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography revolutionized the study of movement, making him one of the pioneers of early motion picture sequences. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable scientific document that continues to fascinate viewers today. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the composition, emphasizing the contours of the woman's body against the simplicity of her surroundings – just a string or sling holding up the hammock. The absence of clothing accentuates her vulnerability while celebrating natural beauty. Now housed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this timeless piece was generously gifted by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. Its presence within their collection ensures its preservation for future generations to appreciate Muybridge's pioneering contributions to both art and science.
