Legendary artist Pablo Picasso was born 136 years ago nowadays on Oct. 25,1881 in Málaga, Spain. He is pictured here in 1949 painting a centaur with light. This photo was featured in the Jan. 30, and 1950 SPEAKING OF PICTURES… feature in LIFE magazine. According to LIFE,“The striking photographs on these pages, taken by Gjon Mili, or display Picasso’s latest and certainly most spectacular medium—drawing in blacked-out space with a flashlight. The idea was suggested by Mili,who got Picasso interested by showing him photographs of trails of light made by Skater Carol Lynne stunting with flashlights on her toes.” (Gjon Mili—The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images) #LIFElegends #GjonMili #Picass
