EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 76. Ascending Incline, 1872-85" is a collotype print by Eadweard Muybridge. Part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" this particular plate showcases the movement of a nude woman ascending an incline. Muybridge, known for his pioneering work in early motion picture sequences and stop-motion photography, created this image as part of his scientific study on human locomotion. The sequential frames captured in this print beautifully depict the fluidity and grace of the subject's walk up the slope. The use of nudity in Muybridge's work was not meant to be provocative but rather served as a means to highlight the natural movements of the human body. By removing clothing, he aimed to focus solely on capturing each step with precision and accuracy. Measuring at 21x34.5 cm, this collotype print is housed in the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. It was generously gifted by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. As you gaze upon this remarkable photograph, take note of how Muybridge's meticulous attention to detail allows us to witness every subtle shift in weight and balance during each step taken by the subject. This timeless image serves as both a testament to Muybridge's scientific contributions and an artistic exploration into capturing movement through photography.
