EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 383. Lifting A Log on Shoulder" captures a moment frozen in time from Eadweard Muybridge's groundbreaking series, "Animal Locomotion". Taken between 1872 and 1885, this collotype print showcases Muybridge's pioneering work in early motion picture sequences. In this particular image, we witness a powerful man lifting a heavy log onto his shoulder with remarkable strength and determination. The stark contrast of the black and white tones adds to the dramatic effect of the composition, emphasizing both the subject's physical prowess and the weight he effortlessly carries. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography is evident as he meticulously studies movement through sequential frames. This photograph serves as an invaluable record of human locomotion during that era, offering insights into how our bodies interacted with objects of considerable mass. The male figure depicted here stands nude, highlighting not only his vulnerability but also celebrating the raw beauty of the human form. Stripped down to its essence, this image transcends societal conventions surrounding nudity by focusing on strength and resilience instead. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. , USA. , this print is part of their esteemed collection gifted by Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. It continues to inspire viewers with its fusion of artistry and scientific inquiry while reminding us of our capacity for physical achievement against all odds.
