2009):

1926. Metzger was born into a Polish-Jewish family that lived in Nuremberg, Germany - famous for its annual Nazi rallies. Metzger recalled that as a child he was impressed by the growing power and visual impact of those rallies and Nazi design/architecture; this is one of the reasons why he later became suspicious of design, architecture and forms of mass manipulation such as the press, political propaganda and commercial advertising. In 1939 Metzger was sent with his elder brother to England to escape Nazi persecution. Other members of his family were not so fortunate - they perished in the Holocaust. Naturally this loss shaped Metzger's view that humanity was brutal, dangerous and self-destructive.

1959. His paintings were exhibited in the basement of a coffee bar, 14 Monmouth Street, London. 'Cardboards' - works recycling a cheap discarded material - also shown at 14 Monmouth Street, November 1959. Metzger wrote a manifesto: destructive Art. Earlier, the anarchist theorist Bakunin had stressed the reciprocal relationship between creation and destruction. Metzger experimented with a form of action painting that involved applying acid with brushes to nylon sheets laid on glass. (The slashed canvases of Lucio Fontana, the self-destroying machines of Jean Tinguely and the fire paintings of Yves Klein were comparable developments.) Auto-destructive art was conceived 'as a desperate, last minute subversive political weapon ... an attack on the capitalist system ... It is committed to nuclear disarmament ... It is an attack also on art dealers and collectors who manipulate modern art for profit'. Auto-
