Francis Picabia

For Picabia, humans were nothing more than machines who were not ruled by their rational minds but by

a range of compulsive hungers.

This notion is still relevant in today’s society and even more so with the way technology has excelled. 

 

Picabia said “the machine has become more than a mere adjunct

of life. It is really a part of human

life.. perhaps the very soul”
