EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Animal Locomotion" by Eadweard Muybridge, we are transported back to the year 1887. The image captures a fascinating sequence featuring two nude men diligently working with an anvil and hammer. The composition is striking, showcasing the raw strength and beauty of the male human body in its most vulnerable form. Both figures exude a sense of purpose and determination as they engage in their laborious task. Their muscular physiques are accentuated by the absence of clothing, emphasizing their physicality and highlighting the intricate details of each sinew. Muybridge's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this portrait. From the texture of their skin to the intensity in their eyes, he masterfully captures not only their physical presence but also conveys a deeper narrative about human endeavor and craftsmanship. This photograph challenges societal norms surrounding nudity at that time, pushing boundaries through its unapologetic portrayal of these individuals engaged in manual labor without any inhibitions or shame. It serves as a testament to Muybridge's artistic vision and his desire to capture movement and motion within his photographic studies. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Alinari's collection, we cannot help but be captivated by its timeless quality. It reminds us that art has always been a powerful medium for exploration and self-expression, transcending societal expectations while inviting viewers into new realms of understanding.
