EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 226. Removing Water Jar from Shoulder to the Ground & Turning" captures a moment of graceful movement frozen in time. Taken by Eadweard Muybridge between 1872-85, this collotype print showcases his groundbreaking work in early motion picture sequences. Part of Muybridge's renowned series "Animal Locomotion" this particular image belongs to Volume IV dedicated to women. It depicts a nude female figure engaged in an everyday task - lifting a water jar from her shoulder and turning it towards the ground. The sequential frames captured by Muybridge offer a scientific study of movement, providing valuable insights into human locomotion. The photograph measures 16.4x44.8 cm and is housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art, Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA. This remarkable piece was generously gifted to the gallery by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust. Muybridge's mastery lies not only in capturing motion but also in elevating it as an art form through his meticulous photography techniques. His ability to freeze moments that would otherwise go unnoticed allows us to appreciate the beauty and grace inherent even in mundane actions like carrying a water jar. "Plate 226" serves as both an artistic marvel and a significant contribution to scientific photography history. Through its timeless appeal and exploration of movement, this photograph continues to captivate viewers with its striking composition and profound depiction of human anatomy in action.
