Gustav Metzger - Auto-Destructive Art: Metzger at AA Gang Atelier 17 x 23 cm'Auto destructive art is a comprehensive theory for action in the field of the plastic arts in the post second world war period. The action is not limited to theory of art and the production of art works. It includes social action. Auto destructive art is committed to a left wing revolutionary position in politics, and to struggles against future wars.
