EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 225. Removing Water Jar from Shoulder to the Ground" was taken by renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge between 1872-1885. The image is part of his groundbreaking series called "Animal Locomotion" which aimed to capture motion in a scientific and sequential manner. In this particular frame, we see a woman depicted in the nude, bending down to remove a water jar from her shoulder and placing it on the ground. The photograph freezes this moment in time, allowing us to study the movement and actions involved in such a simple task. Muybridge's collotype print showcases his mastery of capturing motion through photography. Each frame within his sequence provides valuable insight into human locomotion and has contributed greatly to our understanding of movement. The stark contrast of light and shadow adds depth to the composition, emphasizing both the gracefulness and strength exhibited by the subject as she carries out her task with ease. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print serves as an important historical document that merges art with science. It reminds us of Muybridge's significant contribution to early motion picture sequences while also celebrating the beauty found within everyday actions.
