Picasso Meets Light Graffiti (5 pics)


In 1949, Gjon Mili went to take some photos to Picasso in his study for LIFE magazine, while this happened Mili show him a few of her photos of ice-skaters with tiny lights on their shoes and the effect that this created. Picasso was charmed with this technique and decided to grab a lantern and make his own creations, maybe the quickest and ephemeral of his life.

A few months ago LIFE magazine publish the complete set of this images on their website. If you thought that light graffiti was something new, well I guessed you were wrong, just like me.

Note: I've translated this text from Spanish to English, I hope you all understand it.
