EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating photograph, titled "Plate 356. Kneeling, Firing and Rising" captures a moment frozen in time from Eadweard Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion". This collotype print on paper showcases the meticulous study of movement through sequential frames, providing a glimpse into the early days of motion picture sequences. In this particular image, we witness a man in action, his body poised with intensity as he kneels on the ground. With a rifle firmly gripped in his hands and an aim fixed towards an unseen target, he exudes determination and focus. The details are striking - from his moustache to the pelvis cloth that adorns him. Despite the seriousness of his task at hand, there is an unexpected element of joy present. A jolly smile graces his face as if he finds pleasure in this act of shooting. His semi-nakedness adds vulnerability to his character while emphasizing the raw power emanating from within him. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography shines through every frame captured here. Through this mesmerizing visual documentation of human locomotion, we are reminded of our ability to freeze moments that would otherwise pass us by unnoticed. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art in Phillips Academy, Andover, MA. , this print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical artifact – immortalizing Muybridge's pioneering work that laid the foundation for modern cinematography.
