EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 303. Picking Up a Ball and Throwing It" was captured by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge between 1872-1885. The image is part of his groundbreaking series called "Animal Locomotion" which aimed to study movement through sequential photography. In this particular frame, we see a naked female figure stooping down to pick up a ball before throwing it. Muybridge's meticulous stop-motion technique allows us to witness the fluidity and grace of this action in stunning detail. The photograph not only showcases Muybridge's scientific approach to capturing motion but also challenges societal norms by presenting a nude woman engaged in physical activity. This bold depiction adds an element of sensuality and vulnerability to the image, inviting viewers to contemplate notions of femininity, athleticism, and freedom. Measuring at 19.4x36.7 cm, this collotype print is housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA, USA. It was generously gifted by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust as part of their commitment to preserving significant works that push artistic boundaries. Muybridge's pioneering work laid the foundation for early motion pictures and continues to inspire photographers today with its fusion of artistry and scientific inquiry. This striking photograph serves as a testament to his enduring legacy in both fine art and technological advancements within visual storytelling.
