Art worlds collide with Picasso & Mili's light drawings [1]

Date: 2022-07-13

1949 marked one of the peaks of Pablo Picasso's career, leading LIFE magazine to dispatch Gjon Mili to Picasso's villa in the south of France.

What followed was one of the greatest collaborations by two masters forever trapped in silver & celluloid to be interpreted by future generations via shades of grey.
