Incredible photos of Picasso drawing with light
In 1949, renowned LIFE photographer Gjon Mili visited Pablo Picasso in the South of France. Using a small flashlight in a dark room, Picasso created wildly free and fluid drawings while Mili snapped away. The resulting images are, erm, electric.

If he was painting with light- how the heck did he do it without himself being blurred?!?

old stuff, but i just love to see those pictures. If you guys doubt those pictures, this is the work of Gjon Mili, that guy would blow your mind with his technics without even trying. Check out the work of lennart nilsson, the Dali shot of philippe halsman. These guys we’re true masters of their craft, complete control of their work.
