Artist research.

For my artist research I chose to look at Pablo Picasso, Michael Bosanko, Cenci Goepel and Jens Warnecke.

Light Drawing

. Light drawing photographic technique in which exposures are made by moving a hand-held light source or by moving the camera the term light drawing also encompasses images lit from outside the frame with hand-held light sources.

Pablo Picasso

. 25 October 1881 – 8 April 1973), was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, and stage designer. One of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century, he is widely known for co-founding the Cubist movement. Picasso showed extraordinary artistic talent in his early age when he painted in a realistic manner. During the first decade of the 20th century his style changed as he experimented with different theories, techniques, and ideas.

. Pablo Picasso went through many periods in his life for example the blue, rose and African-influenced periods. The blue was  1901–1904 consists of somber paintings rendered in shades of blue and blue-green, only occasionally warmed by other colors. prostitutes and beggars are frequent subjects—Picasso was influenced by a trip through Spain and by the suicide of his friend Carlos Casagemas.

. The Rose period The Rose Period 1904–1906 is characterized by a more cheery style with orange and pink colors, and featuring many circus people, acrobats and harlequins known in France as saltimbanques.

. The African-influenced period Picasso’s African-influenced Period 1907–1909 begins with the two figures on the right in his painting, "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon", which were inspired by African artifacts. Formal ideas developed during this period lead directly into the Cubist period that follows.


. Light painting, In 1949, LIFE photographer Gjon Mili visited Picasso in Vallauris, France. He showed Pablo some photographs of ice skaters with tiny lights affixed to their skates jumping in the dark. Picasso was immediately inspired and took these photos of his very own light paintings.
