PABLO PICASSO, 1881-1973
"When you begin a picture, you often make some pretty discoveries. You must be on guard against these. Destroy it, do it over several times. With each destruction of a beautiful discovery, the artist does not really suppress it, but rather transforms it, condenses it, makes its more substantial. What comes out in the end is the result of discarded finds. Otherwise, you become your own connoisseur. After all, I don't buy my own pictures." - Pablo Picasso
