Commentary | Don Quixote standing and holding his lance while Sancho remains asleep; also Rocinante in the illustration.
Image of remarkable personal style influenced by some of the main European Art movements during the 1930s, as late Expressionism and Surrealism; the image loses realism to become more expressive, but also oniric, evocative and suggestive; notice the shadows and silhouettes (don Quixote's own shadows? real or imaginary? don Quixote dreaming to fight against other knights?). |
