EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 402. Emptying Basin of Water" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. Taken between 1872 and 1885, this collotype print showcases Muybridge's groundbreaking work in capturing motion through sequential frames. Part of his iconic series "Animal Locomotion". Volume IV focuses on women in various states of movement, including nudity. This particular image portrays a female figure pouring water from a jug into an empty basin with remarkable precision and grace. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography revolutionized the field, allowing for detailed studies of movement that were previously impossible to capture accurately. His stop-motion technique paved the way for early motion picture sequences and laid the foundation for modern cinematography. In this striking composition, we witness not only the physical act of pouring water but also the dynamic splash created as it hits the basin. The woman's nakedness adds an element of vulnerability and sensuality to this otherwise scientific study. 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. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers today as they marvel at Muybridge's mastery in freezing moments that would otherwise be lost to time.
