A quotation from Dario Gamboni's book "the destruction of art, iconoclasm and vandalism since the French revolution":
"(...) the essential link that modern psychologists have tended to establish between destructiveness and creativity has gained in modern art an imprecedented visibility and importance, in direct relation to its "iconoclasm". In the 1930's Picasso emphasized this dramatic change to Christian Zervos on the level of the modus operandum: "Previously, pictures advanced to their end by progression. Each day brought something new. A picture was a sum of additions. With me, a picture is a sum of destructions".
