Picasso's Light Drawings

Just a quick post tonight, I wanted to throw up a link to LIFE magazine's website. They have a pretty cool gallery up right now featuring Picasso's light drawings.























 




"LIFE photographer Gjon Mili visited Picasso in 1949. Mili showed
the artist some of his photographs of ice skaters with tiny lights
affixed to their skates jumping in the dark—and Picasso's mind
began to race. The series of photographs that follows
—Picasso’s light drawings—were made with a small flashlight
in a dark
room; the images vanished almost as soon
as they were created.

I should have a lengthier post up by the end of the weekend. Exams are over and I should finally have some free time on my hands. :)
