EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 382. Lifting A Log on End, 1872-85" captures a remarkable moment frozen in time by the pioneering photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image is part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887. In this particular frame, we witness a man engaged in an impressive feat of strength as he lifts a massive log onto its end. His muscular physique is revealed through his nudity, emphasizing the raw power required for such an act. The contrast between the man's physicality and the natural world surrounding him creates a striking visual composition. Muybridge's collotype technique adds depth and texture to the print, enhancing our perception of movement within this still image. Each frame in this sequence provides valuable insight into early motion picture studies and scientific photography. The photograph serves as both a study of human movement and an artistic exploration of form and function. It invites us to marvel at the capabilities of the human body while also highlighting mankind's ability to manipulate nature for practical purposes. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, Massachusetts, this print continues to captivate viewers with its timeless depiction of strength, action, and determination.
