- huggingthecoast, on 06/19/2009, -0/+10These are from the days when he was living with Francoise Gilot. After she left him, she wrote the book, Life With Picasso, a wonderful book about Picasso that later inspired the excellent movie, Surviving Picasso.
- Edogz, on 06/19/2009, -0/+9Picasso did it 60 years before it was trendy! This is awesome.
- gotcheaprice, on 06/19/2009, -0/+8The exposure of light itself is a lot brighter on the film, so it is imposed more. I'm assuming that he drew the picture with the light first in the dark, and then had a flash set off in the end that will freeze his position.
- kahoona1, on 06/19/2009, -0/+7Check this out the.
http://images.google.com/hosted/life - dgendreau, on 06/19/2009, -0/+7This one?
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8b ... - OLTP, on 06/19/2009, -0/+5Why does the light show up as one long trail, but the man himself is not blurry at all?
- inactive, on 06/19/2009, -0/+5he was the life of the rave. plur.
- geoman2k, on 06/19/2009, -0/+4i had seen some of these pictures before, but i always thought he was drawing on a pane of glass or something.
pretty cool to see he was doing this way before the fad kicked in like a year ago :)
now who's job is it to link to that cool dali photo with the cat and the bucket of water? i'd do it but i'm lazy. - Antialias, on 06/19/2009, -2/+5I imagine he held still in the last or starting position for awhile then his movements are fast enough that the camera doesn't even pick them up. You can see in some the multiple positions where he probably paused making certain motions.
- kerouac906, on 06/19/2009, -0/+3I always wonder who holds the rights to these photographs, the photographer or the artist he is photographing? It is clearly Picasso's artwork that is the highlight of the image, but the photographer used his equipment, skills, and at the time, innovation to accomplish these shots...
- kerouac906, on 06/19/2009, -0/+1In a dark room he is 'invisible' to the camera - then when the photographer chooses he hits him with a flash and voila, he is visible on film...
- ginestony, on 06/19/2009, -2/+3He was so ahead of his time. Simply amazing
- drgmdp, on 06/19/2009, -0/+1cool story bro

- MxM111, on 06/19/2009, -0/+1Art for the art sake is awesome!
- geoman2k, on 06/22/2009, -0/+1gay.
- MysticMania, on 06/19/2009, -0/+1wow, thats so cool, im so glad i came across this
- dgendreau, on 06/19/2009, -1/+2My guess is that he did the light trails in the dark and used a bright flash to capture the still of himself at some point in the exposure.
- sdipaola, on 06/19/2009, -1/+1 a sad afterthought about technology - many have wanted to paint in space - and photography gave folks the possibility of doing so like Picasso here with extended exposure images but the thought was, in the future, some system would allow you to painting in light/space fully where viewers/creators could walk around and view. it was assumed holograms would get you there - but that has not panned out - nor would you be able walk around and in the light sculpture. And no other tech has come along to answer the dream yet ( except a full VR headset setup). we only have 3D in a computer or manufactured in materials that must deal with gravity and such (sculpture) but still no way to walk into a gallery and move around and through a light sculpture that looks as significant as the old time lapsed work you see here ( and more significant versions that many artist got into with different color/sized flashlights to this very day). oh well ... one day.
- gigolobadass, on 07/02/2009, -0/+01949 ! holy that was 60 years ago,
and we're probably taught the shooting skill and phenomenon by the age of art school?
Picasso is truly a unique yet outstanding artist who was born in mismatched time. - WatIsNotTaknYet, on 06/19/2009, -0/+0That elephant in the room must be really happy.
- DeathByTheBlade, on 06/20/2009, -1/+1He's just scribbling around. If it wasn't Picasso doing it, nobody would care.
- inactive, on 06/19/2009, -6/+4Awesome
- blueocean87, on 06/19/2009, -3/+0Thats the art... that is why you are not picasso...
