EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 54. Walking, Two Models / One Flirting A Fan, Arm in Arm" 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. The image features two female models walking together with an air of elegance and grace. As they stroll arm in arm, one of them playfully flirts with a fan held coyly to her face. The composition exudes a sense of movement and action despite being captured within individual frames. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography is evident as he meticulously studied the sequential movements of women through stop-motion photography. This particular plate belongs to his influential series "Animal Locomotion" which aimed to capture the essence of human motion for scientific study. Although the subjects are depicted nude, their nakedness serves as a testament to Muybridge's dedication towards capturing authentic movement rather than sensationalism. The photograph beautifully portrays the natural fluidity of their walk while showcasing their vulnerability and strength simultaneously. Now housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA, this remarkable piece continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and artistic significance. It stands as a testament to Muybridge's pioneering contributions to both science and art through his innovative photographic techniques.
