PICASSO
 
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. 

And i might add years before hoodied student thought it was cool to go running round london with there light pens, thank you Picasso, thank you.
