Gjon Mili captures Pablo Picasso creating one of his light drawings in 1949.
Inspired by Gjon Mili's photographs of ice skaters with tiny lights on their skates, Pablo Picasso created his "light drawings" series in 1949. The artist used a small electric light to draw pictures of centaurs, bulls, Greek profiles, and his signature in a darkened room, as two cameras with the shutters open captured the streaks of light. The art vanished immediately, leaving only the photographs like this one of what looks like a man running tod display. Printed to order on Fuji crystal archive paper, numbered and certified, and comes encased inside a hand-made solid wood black frame that's ready to hang. Limited edition of 495.
