EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 43. Walking, Sprinkling Water from Basin, Turning Around" captures a mesmerizing moment frozen in time. Taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge between 1872 and 1885, this collotype print showcases his groundbreaking work on animal locomotion. Part of Muybridge's iconic series "Animal Locomotion" this particular image belongs to Volume III dedicated to women. The photograph depicts a nude female figure gracefully walking while sprinkling water from a basin. Her body is captured in sequential frames, showcasing the fluidity of her movement. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography revolutionized our understanding of motion and paved the way for early motion picture sequences. This image exemplifies his meticulous study of movement through stop-motion photography. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the composition, emphasizing the droplets as they cascade through the air before splashing onto the ground. The simplicity of the subject matter - a woman carrying water - is elevated by Muybridge's artistic vision and technical expertise. Now housed at Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, Massachusetts, this print serves as an important reminder of Muybridge's significant contributions to both art and science. It invites viewers to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance as an early exploration into capturing movement through sequential photography.
