laughingsquid: Photos of Picasso Creating Light Paintings (1949) These are great pictures but I also think it’ll be interesting for people to check these out because you don’t see an artist’s face very often. When you do, you tend to think of their art as their identity more than their actual face.  Just like with reading, I tend to make up an image of what an artist looks like based on their art and writing. The same way I think of what the characters in a book look like, I imagine what the artist looks like as well. Of course there are differences and there’s no relation between images and artists (other than self portraits) but it’s always an interesting moment when I see someone for the first time after having so much experience with the things they create.  It’s incredibly interesting the way I create a person in my head before I actually see what they look like. Even when you meet someone online and talk to them forever, the first time you meet them there will be things you assumed or imagined about them that will be totally different. There’s something to be found in the relationship between presumptions and realty.
