EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 401. Emptying Bucket of Water" captures a moment frozen in time by the talented photographer Eadweard Muybridge. Taken between 1872 and 1885, this collotype print showcases an early motion picture sequence from Muybridge's renowned series, "Animal Locomotion". In this particular frame, we witness a woman in her natural form, gracefully bending over to empty a bucket of water. The sequential nature of the image allows us to observe every stage of her movement – from the initial splash as she throws the water into the air to its graceful descent as it streams down around her. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography is evident in his meticulous study of human movement. Each frame serves as a valuable piece of evidence for understanding locomotion and capturing moments that would otherwise be missed by the naked eye. The simplicity and beauty captured within this photograph are truly remarkable. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the image while emphasizing both the fluidity of water pouring out and the curves of the female figure. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print serves as a testament to Muybridge's groundbreaking work in early motion picture sequences. It invites viewers into an intimate exploration of movement through artistry and science alike.
