EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 430. Toilet; Taking Off Clothing" captures a moment of intimate movement frozen in time. Taken between 1872 and 1885 by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge, this collotype print measures 17.2x41 cm and is housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" this image belongs to Volume IV dedicated to women in motion. It showcases his pioneering stop-motion technique that laid the foundation for early motion picture sequences. In this particular frame, we witness a woman undressing, gracefully shedding her clothes as she prepares for her toilette. The sequential nature of the photograph allows us to study every subtle movement with scientific precision. The nude female figure becomes a subject of both artistic beauty and scientific inquiry as Muybridge explores the complexities of human movement through photography. The absence of clothing emphasizes vulnerability while highlighting the natural gracefulness inherent in our bodies' motions. Through his lens, Muybridge invites us into an intimate moment where nudity meets artistry and science intertwines with aesthetics. This powerful image serves as a testament to his mastery behind the camera and his contribution to photographic history. Gifted by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust, this remarkable piece continues to inspire viewers with its timeless elegance and profound exploration of human form in motion.
