EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph captured by Eadweard Muybridge in 1872-85. This collotype print measures 20.5x36.5 cm and is housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art, Phillips Academy, Andover, MA, USA. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" this image belongs to Volume III dedicated to women in motion. The scientific study explores movement through sequential frames, resembling an early motion picture sequence or stop-motion animation. In this particular frame, a nude female figure gracefully ascends an incline while carrying a bucket of water in each hand. The woman's nakedness adds vulnerability and rawness to the scene as she confidently walks upwards on the slope. Muybridge's meticulous attention to detail captures every subtle nuance of her stride and posture with remarkable precision. Through his lens, he transforms ordinary human locomotion into artistry and scientific inquiry. The juxtaposition of nudity against the backdrop of scientific exploration challenges societal norms while highlighting the beauty inherent in human movement. It invites viewers to contemplate not only the physical act but also its significance within our understanding of ourselves as beings capable of grace and strength. This photograph serves as a testament to Muybridge's pioneering work in photography and his contribution to both artistic expression and scientific discovery during his time.
