EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 623. Canter; Bareback; Rider, 43, Nude; Gray Horse Smith, 1885" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image showcases a remarkable sequence of motion as it depicts a male rider gracefully cantering on a beautiful gray horse. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" this collotype print offers an early glimpse into the world of motion pictures. Each frame meticulously captures the fluid movement of both man and beast, providing valuable scientific insight into the mechanics of locomotion. The nude rider adds an intriguing element to the composition, emphasizing vulnerability and raw connection with nature. Stripped down to his bare essence, he fearlessly embraces the exhilaration that comes with horse riding. As we admire this stunning piece from the Addison Gallery of American Art collection at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, we are reminded of our deep connection with animals and their role in our lives. Horses have long been companions to mankind - symbols of freedom, strength, and grace. Through Muybridge's lens, we witness not only a sport but also an art form - capturing movement through sequential frames that reveal hidden details often missed by the naked eye. This photograph is not just a snapshot frozen in time but rather an invitation to explore deeper into our own understanding of human-animal interaction and appreciate the beauty found within these fleeting moments.
