Picasso: Drawing with Light

Today, rather than share with you what I recently read in a book, I'm going to share an image feed of a series of pictures that I came across in Life Magazine.

via Life.com:

LIFE photographer Gjon Mili visited Picasso in 1949. Mili showed the artist some of his photographs of ice skaters with tiny lights affixed to their skates jumping in the dark—and Picasso's mind began to race. The series of photographs that follows—Picasso’s light drawings—were made with a small flashlight in a dark room; the images vanished almost as soon as they were created.

Aren't these images absolutely terrific?
