Picasso's Light Drawing

Triple Exposure of Picasso Drawing With Light


Running Man

Picasso Begins a Light Drawing


GJON MILI + PABLO PICASSO

Check out Gjon Mili's photos from a series done in 1949 of Picasso drawing with light. They were done using a small flashlight in a very dark room with a very long exposure.

So interesting...the image disappears before it gets a chance to live for just one moment...but his motions are captured for eternity.

For insight on how to try this yourself, here are step-by-step instructions

As for Gjon Mili, he seemed to have quite a knack for capturing motion. Here's a piece that I love.

And here's a short film from 1944 that he directed, called Jammin' The Blues. Perfect for a night like tonight...
