EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 33. Walking, 14-lb. Basket on Head, Hands Raised" captures a remarkable moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. Taken between 1872 and 1885, this collotype print showcases Muybridge's groundbreaking work in capturing motion through sequential frames. Part of his iconic series "Animal Locomotion". Volume III: Women (Nude), this image offers a scientific study of movement as it features a female figure walking with grace and poise. The woman carries an impressive load - a 14-pound basket balanced effortlessly on her head while her hands are raised elegantly. Muybridge's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this composition. From the woman's nakedness to the full-length view of her body, he presents an unapologetic celebration of the human form. The stark contrast created by the black and white tones enhances both the beauty and strength displayed by the subject. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA, USA, this print serves as a testament to Muybridge's pioneering contributions to early motion picture sequences and stop-motion photography. It invites viewers into an intimate exploration of movement and challenges traditional notions surrounding nudity. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing photograph captured over a century ago, we are reminded that art has always been at its most powerful when it pushes boundaries and sparks conversations about our shared humanity.
