EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 444. Two Models Shaking Hands and Kissing Each Other" was captured by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge between 1872-1885. The image is a collotype print on paper, measuring 22.9x31 cm, currently housed in the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, this particular plate belongs to Volume IV dedicated to women in motion. It showcases two female models engaging in a unique encounter - shaking hands and sharing an intimate kiss. Muybridge's work revolutionized early motion picture sequences through his stop-motion technique using sequential frames. His scientific approach to photography allowed for detailed studies of movement and action. In this mesmerizing composition, the artist captures not only the physical gestures but also conveys a sense of vulnerability with the nudity of these women. Their nakedness adds an additional layer of intimacy to their meeting as they embrace each other warmly. The photograph invites viewers to contemplate themes such as connection, human interaction, and societal norms surrounding greetings and encounters between individuals. With its timeless appeal and artistic merit, this print serves as a testament to Muybridge's pioneering contributions to both science and photography while challenging traditional notions of beauty and propriety.
