The captivating image was taken by Gjon Mili at LIFE Magazine, who managed to capture Picasso at play in the south of France, drawing on thin air with a small electric light. The 1949 photograph reveals not one, but three Picasso likenesses, all barely visible behind his life-size light creation.

We were certainly taken aback by the painter's knack for drawing with light. Let us know what you think of the photo in the comments.
