EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 658. Mule; A, kicking; B, kicking Ruth" captures a mesmerizing moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. Taken in 1887 as part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" this collotype print showcases the raw power and energy of a mule's kick. In this image, we witness two distinct frames capturing the sequential movement of the mule's hind legs as it kicks out with force. The composition is both dynamic and scientific, revealing Muybridge's meticulous study of motion through photography. The intensity of the scene is heightened by the presence of Ruth, who becomes an unwitting participant in this dramatic display. As she stands nearby, her vulnerability contrasts sharply with the brute strength exhibited by the mule. Muybridge's work revolutionized early motion picture sequences and laid the foundation for modern-day cinema techniques. His ability to capture split-second actions like these provided invaluable insights into animal locomotion and paved the way for further scientific exploration. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this collotype print serves as a testament to Muybridge's artistic brilliance and his significant contributions to both art and science. It reminds us that even seemingly mundane moments can hold extraordinary beauty when viewed through an artist's lens.
