There’s a very old B&W film piece wherein Picasso was commissioned to draw on a pane of clear glass anything he wanted for a brief time like an hour or whatever (I’m not clear about the details of the event). He agreed but required the piece to be destroyed afterwards. In doing so, Picasso made the film itself a piece of art.
The film shows him behind the glass, facing the camera with some kind of marker in hand and furiously drawing spontaneously without effort. The first few minutes created one thing but as the camera rolls, the image becomes something totally different. Live action, ad-lib art!
I’ll look for the video.
