Light graffiti isn’t new to SuperForest but I didn’t know that way back in 1949, LIFE photographer Gjon Mili, known for his work capturing movement and using multiple exposures, visited Picasso. Mili showed Picasso some of his photographs of light patterns formed by a skater’s leaps, obtained by fixing tiny lights on the points of the skates and, inspired, the two created these photographs of Picasso ‘drawing’ with a small flashlight in a dark room…
I love the movement and the idea that these were ‘Picasso originals’ that existed in space only for a moment but were captured on film by Mili. You can see a heap more in the LIFE gallery here.
