Pablo Picasso’s Light Drawings
Light drawings are created by a torch or laser pen, taken at night or in a darkened room, with the camera on a slow shutter speed setting, usually one second or more. Effects can be created by moving the camera to blue slightly, or more commonly, the light source creating an image, similar to a pencil drawing, which Pablo Picasso specialised in, explaining his success in creating light drawings.
Pablo Picasso was born in Malaga , Spain
This image of Picasso’s light drawing is one of my favourites for many reasons. Firstly, I like the way you can see Picasso in the background creating the image. It adds a personal and unique touch, and is also a change from normal, as some of his paintings seem to have a hidden meaning and don’t show his personality, whereas this piece does. Secondly, the subject of this photo, the vase and flowers, is clear, as some of the others he has made are not quite as obvious.
The photo as a whole is a good one, partially because of the subject but also because of the background and Picasso himself. His shadow is cast on the plain white wall which adds effect.
I also like this image of Picasso creating a light drawing because of the background scenery. His image is clearly set in a home environment, perhaps his own, as the clay plates and pots seem to be positioned to his specific taste.
The image he has drawn is slightly unclear, but seems to be a human figure. The legs and lower body seem to be rather rushed, as do the two hands, which could portray the fact the camera was on a quicker shutter speed than some of the other images he produced.
The photograph shows a happy side to Picasso, as he is smiling and this shows he enjoyed creating art and different images for others to view, years after his death; and he is still portrayed as one of the most influential artist of the 20th Century.
