EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 446. Filling Pitcher on the Ground From Water-Jar" was taken by renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge in 1872-85. The image is a collotype print, measuring 17.9x42.1 cm, and is currently housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" this particular plate showcases a woman engaged in a simple yet mesmerizing action - filling a pitcher from a water-jar placed on the ground. The sequence captures her movement as she stands gracefully with her body exposed, pouring water into the vessel. Muybridge's work revolutionized early motion picture sequences and scientific photography. His stop-motion technique allowed for detailed study of human and animal movement, providing invaluable insights into locomotion. In this frame-by-frame depiction, we witness not only the physical act of pouring but also an exploration of sequential motion that reveals both beauty and scientific precision. The juxtaposition between nudity and scientific observation adds depth to this composition. Through his lens, Muybridge invites us to contemplate the fluidity of movement while appreciating its aesthetic qualities. This photograph serves as a testament to his mastery as well as an enduring symbol of artistic expression intersecting with scientific inquiry. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured over a century ago, we are reminded that art has always been intertwined with our quest for knowledge about ourselves and
