EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 189. Dancing (fancy), 1885" showcases the artistic genius of Eadweard Muybridge. The image, a collotype print on paper measuring 19.1x40.8 cm, is housed in the prestigious Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. Part of Muybridge's renowned series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, this particular plate belongs to Volume VI dedicated to Females (Semi Nude) & Children. With its scientific approach to capturing motion through sequential frames, Muybridge revolutionized early motion picture sequences and contributed significantly to the field of photography. In this mesmerizing shot, we witness a solo dancer gracefully moving across the frame. Clad in a diaphanous white dress that appears floaty and translucent against her outstretched limbs, she exudes an air of romance and elegance. Her body twists and turns with remarkable precision as she spins effortlessly on her toes. Muybridge's meticulous study of movement is evident in every detail captured by his lens. This photograph not only freezes a fleeting moment but also immortalizes the beauty and grace inherent in dance. As we gaze upon this timeless image from over a century ago, we are reminded of the power that art holds to transcend time itself - inviting us into an enchanting world where motion becomes poetry and stillness transforms into everlasting beauty.
