Violent change and transmogrification became means by which Picasso could use his voracious visual memory and digestive powers to assimilate the work of other artists, and by reinventing their idioms and images, somehow triumph over them — to show, in his magical and warlike view of art, that he now possessed them, possessed the past, and was now steering history in a new, Modernist direction.

“I am God,” Picasso once told a Spanish friend. “I am God. I am God.”
