EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 239. Two Models; One Standing, the Other Sitting, Crossing Legs" captures a unique moment frozen in time by Eadweard Muybridge. Taken between 1872-85 as part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" this collotype print showcases Muybridge's pioneering work in early motion picture sequences. In this particular image, two female models are depicted - one standing while the other sits with her legs crossed. The contrast between their poses creates a dynamic composition that emphasizes movement and action. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography is evident as he meticulously captures each frame to study the sequential movements of these women. The nudity of the models adds an element of vulnerability and rawness to the photograph. By removing societal constraints imposed on clothing, Muybridge focuses solely on capturing the natural beauty and gracefulness of their bodies. Through his meticulous stop-motion technique, Muybridge revolutionized our understanding of human locomotion and paved the way for future advancements in cinematography. This image serves as a testament to his innovative spirit and dedication to pushing boundaries within both art and science. Now housed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print continues to inspire viewers with its timeless exploration of movement and form.
