EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 500. Various Movements with Water-Jar" captures a mesmerizing sequence of actions involving a water-jar. Taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge between 1872 and 1885, this collotype print showcases his groundbreaking work in early motion picture sequences. Part of Muybridge's iconic series "Animal Locomotion". Volume IV focuses on women in various states of undress. This particular image features a nude woman gracefully carrying and pouring water from a jar. Her long hair cascades down her back as she delicately handles the vessel, exuding both strength and elegance. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography is evident in this study of movement. Through stop-motion frames, he meticulously captures each stage of the action, allowing viewers to appreciate the fluidity and gracefulness inherent in even the simplest tasks. The juxtaposition between nudity and everyday activities adds an intriguing layer to this photograph. It challenges societal norms while highlighting the beauty found within mundane actions like drinking or carrying water. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print serves as a testament to Muybridge's pioneering contributions to both art and science. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate audiences today, making it an invaluable addition to any fine art collection.
