EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 313. Heaving a 20-lb Rock, 1885" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image is part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, specifically Volume II dedicated to male subjects. In this particular frame, we witness a powerful man in all his naked glory engaging in an impressive feat of strength. With muscles taut and determination etched on his face, he prepares to hurl a hefty rock weighing twenty pounds into the distance. The intensity of the action is palpable as Muybridge's stop-motion technique allows us to appreciate every detail of this remarkable display. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography revolutionized our understanding of movement and paved the way for early motion picture sequences. His meticulous study captured sequential frames that revealed the intricacies of human locomotion with unparalleled precision. The Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA proudly houses this collotype print on paper as part of their collection. Donated by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust, it serves as a testament to both artistic ingenuity and scientific exploration. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are reminded not only of mankind's physical capabilities but also our innate fascination with capturing moments that would otherwise pass us by unnoticed.
