EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 252. Kneeling on Right Knee and Scrubbing the Floor" captures a moment frozen in time between 1872-1885 by renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image is part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" which aimed to study movement through sequential photography. In this particular frame, we see a nude woman diligently scrubbing the floor while kneeling on her right knee. The intensity of her action is palpable as she focuses all her energy into cleaning with a brush and pail nearby. Muybridge's meticulous attention to detail allows us to witness every nuance of her body's motion. The collotype printing technique used for this print adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its visual impact. This scientific exploration of human locomotion showcases Muybridge's pioneering contribution to early motion picture sequences. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA, USA, this artwork offers an intriguing glimpse into both artistry and scientific inquiry. It serves as a testament to Muybridge's dedication in capturing movement through photography while challenging societal norms with its depiction of female nudity. As we observe this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded not only of the beauty found within everyday actions but also of the power that lies within artistic innovation and scientific exploration.
