EDITORS COMMENTS
This set of photographs, entitled "Animal Locomotion," was created by the pioneering English photographer Eadweard J Muybridge in 1887. The series consists of sequential images that capture the human body in motion, providing an unprecedented anatomical study of movement. This particular print showcases five distinct actions: A) "Walking," where a man strides forward with purpose; B) "Ascending a Step," as he raises one foot to climb a stair; C) "Throwing the Disk," an athletic throw of an object, likely a frisbee or discus; D) "Using a Shovel," depicting a laborious digging motion; and E, F) "Using a Pick," demonstrating the process of picking or mining. These black and white images, taken using the then-revolutionary process of callotypes, offer a fascinating glimpse into the scientific exploration of human anatomy during the 19th century. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) proudly houses this significant collection, providing a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts alike.
