EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 408. Two Models, 1 Pouring Bucket of Water Over 8" 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 focusing on women in motion. In this particular print, two nude models can be seen playfully engaging with water. One model stands tall while pouring a bucket of water over the other model's head, creating a mesmerizing splash that freezes mid-air. Their laughter and joy are palpable as they revel in this lighthearted interaction. Muybridge's collotype technique beautifully showcases the movement and action within each frame, providing an early glimpse into what would later become known as motion pictures. This scientific study of sequential movement not only highlights Muybridge's mastery as a photographer but also offers valuable insights into human locomotion. The composition invites viewers to contemplate themes such as nudity, femininity, and the simple pleasures found in everyday activities like bathing or washing oneself. It serves as a reminder of our shared humanity and the beauty found in moments of spontaneity. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, this print is an exquisite example of Muybridge's pioneering work that continues to inspire photographers and artists alike today.
