EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 79. Ascending Incline" taken by Eadweard Muybridge in 1872-85, offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the early days of motion picture sequences. The image is part of Muybridge's renowned series called "Animal Locomotion" specifically Volume III dedicated to Women (Nude). In this particular frame, we witness a woman ascending an incline with grace and poise. Her naked form stands out against the stark backdrop, emphasizing her movement as she walks upwards on the slope. The collotype print technique used adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its artistic appeal. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography shines through in this study of sequential motion. Each frame captures a distinct moment in time, allowing us to observe the subtle nuances of human locomotion. As our eyes follow her swaying gait and rocking buttocks, we are reminded of both the beauty and complexity inherent in human movement. The photograph not only serves as a testament to Muybridge's pioneering work but also invites contemplation on themes such as nudity and female empowerment. It challenges societal norms by presenting an unapologetic portrayal of the female body engaged in natural action. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this remarkable piece continues to captivate viewers with its timeless elegance and scientific significance.
