Picasso Does Some Light Sketchwork

Picasso Does Some Light Sketchwork

At the Madoura Pottery workshop near his home in Vallauris, France, in 1948, the 67-year-old artist draws a centaur with a flashlight. Centaurs, minotaurs, and bulls would appear frequently in Picasso's work throughout his career. (See more photos of Picasso's flashlight drawings.)
