Literature: Robert and Nicolas Descharnes, 'The Hard and the Soft,' Eccart, 2004 ils.p.173 Note: This sculpture depicts Don Quixote, a figure with whom Salvador Dalí was preoccupied with throughout his career and who featured repeatedly in his artwork. Dalí’s own resemblance to Don Quixote has been commented upon, since both were immersed in the world of dreams. This work is therefore an expression of Dalí’s own sense of artistic identity, which is in turn deeply rooted in Spanish culture and history. Please refer to department for condition report
