Legendary artist Pablo Picasso was born 136 years ago today 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, 1950 SPEAKING OF PICTURES... feature in LIFE magazine. According to LIFE, "The striking photographs on these pages, taken by Gjon Mili, show 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."

Quotes

Everything you can imagine is real.
Good artists copy, great artists steal.
Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
