Commentary | Don Quixote mounted on Rocinante and guided by a female flying figure (madness? Dulcinea?).
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 that it seems that don Quixote hasnĀ“t got arms, so he can not guide Rocinante by himself; his madness guides him (against his own will? notice don Quixote's expression). |
Notes | 1 - Placed in chapter 7:2, but the illustration does not refers to it. |
