EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 360. Throwing a Spear" was taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge between 1872 and 1885. The image is part of his groundbreaking series called "Animal Locomotion" which aimed to capture movement in a sequential manner. In this particular frame, we see a semi-naked male figure poised in action, preparing to throw a spear or javelin. His muscular physique is accentuated by the loincloth draped around his waist, known as a pelvis cloth. Muybridge's meticulous attention to detail allows us to witness the fluidity and grace of this dynamic motion frozen in time. The collotype printing technique used for this print adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its visual impact. As one of Muybridge's scientific studies on human locomotion, it exemplifies his pioneering work that laid the foundation for early motion picture sequences. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print serves as an invaluable historical document capturing both artistic beauty and scientific exploration. It offers viewers an opportunity to delve into Muybridge's world where art meets science seamlessly. With its striking composition and timeless appeal, "Plate 360. Throwing a Spear" continues to captivate audiences today with its depiction of movement frozen in time—a testament to Muybridge's enduring legacy as one of photography's greatest innovators.
