This time-lapse video of an oil-painting being created by Pablo Picasso is brief, but captivating. The clip is a scene taken from the 1955 French documentary "The Mystery of Picasso," in which director Henri-Georges Clouzot filmed the artist painting 20 different pieces. Bizarrely enough, almost all the art created for the film had to be destroyed upon close of production due to contractual obligation. More here

Nice post.

^ Yeah, I wish my first post was that good

Wasn't really my first post, the real first one didn't pass muster!

I actually really like how Picasso is totally absent from the movie, although that bugged me the first few times I watched it. Also I find it interesting that the forms *start* more realistic and get cubized later. I would not have guessed that he painted that way.

One of my tasks when taking an advanced Adobe Illustrator class was to re-create a portion of Guernica. It was definitely not easy but I learned a lot about illustrator in the process.
