The Lost Light Drawings of Picasso

How did I miss that Pablo Picasso did light drawings? LIFE Magazine has a wonderful collection of photos showing Picasso creating light drawings.  I apologize if you have already seen this, but I didn’t realize that Picasso was an early light drawing artist. From my earliest years of drawing, I have always been in awe of Picasso’s work. It is exciting to see work by him that is so new to me and I am astounded at how ahead of his time these are.

The Sculpture of Kate MccGuire

Sluice - Pigeon feathers, felt, glue and polystyrene - 4.5 x 2.5 x .5 m

Kate MccGuire is creating stunning sculptures and installations using Pigeon feathers.  The many layers of intricately placed feathers bring her sculptures to life.

The Walking Kinetic Sculpture of Theo Jansen

Living somewhere between kinetic sculpture and conceptual robotics, Theo Jansen’s creations are just as visually interesting as they are from a functional perspective.  Since I first featured Theo Jansen on Today in Art, there have not been many new photos added.  Recently, new photos of Jansen and his creatures have been uploaded.  This is exciting and I can’t wait to see where he goes with his work.
