EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Man Bicycling, 1890s" takes us back to the late 19th century, capturing a moment frozen in time. Created by the talented Etienne Jules Marey, a French pioneer in chronophotography and cinematography, this gelatin silver lantern slide showcases his innovative approach to capturing motion. The image portrays a cyclist gracefully pedaling through the countryside of France. The blurred background suggests speed and movement while highlighting Marey's mastery of capturing locomotion. The simplicity of the composition draws our attention to the lone figure on the bicycle, emphasizing his determination and skill. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported to an era when bicycles were not only means of transportation but also symbols of freedom and progress. This piece serves as a testament to both technological advancements and human ingenuity during that time period. Displayed proudly at the Art Institute Chicago, this artwork is part of their rich collection celebrating heritage art from around the world. It reminds us how photography can preserve history and evoke emotions even after more than a century has passed. Etienne Jules Marey's work continues to inspire artists today with its timeless beauty and technical brilliance. Through his lens, he captured not just a man bicycling but also encapsulated an entire era defined by innovation and exploration in various fields including art, science, technology, and transportation.
