EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 147. Descending Stairs; Turning Water Jar on Right Shoulder" captures a mesmerizing moment frozen in time by the talented photographer Eadweard Muybridge. Taken between 1872-85, this collotype print showcases one frame from Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion". In this particular image, we witness a nude female figure gracefully descending a flight of stairs while balancing a water jar on her right shoulder. The woman's curvaceous form is beautifully highlighted against the stark backdrop, emphasizing both her vulnerability and strength. Muybridge's work was not only aesthetically pleasing but also scientifically significant as it aimed to study movement through sequential frames. This early motion picture sequence revolutionized our understanding of human locomotion and paved the way for future advancements in photography and cinematography. The contrast between stillness and action in this photograph is striking - the woman appears serene amidst her dynamic descent down the stairs. Her nakedness adds an element of rawness to the composition, inviting viewers to contemplate themes of beauty, femininity, and vulnerability. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print serves as a testament to Muybridge's artistic genius and his invaluable contribution to both scientific exploration and visual storytelling.
