‘Have you ever finished a picture? A picture or anything else? Woe unto you the day it is said that
you are finished ! To finish a work? To finish a picture? What nonsense! To finish it means to be
through with it, to kill, to rid it of its soul, to give it its final blow: the most unfortunate one for the
painter as well as for the picture. THE VALUE OF A WORK RESIDES PRECISELY IN WHAT IT IS
NOT.’ – Picasso,1945
