Dali expressed his unique and unconfined personality by producing works in all mediums, including painting, sculpture, and drawing. <\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1766\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1766\" style=\"width: 781px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/art-museum\/files\/2019\/03\/IMG-8441.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1766\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/art-museum\/files\/2019\/03\/IMG-8441-781x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"781\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/art-museum\/files\/2019\/03\/IMG-8441-781x1024.jpg 781w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/art-museum\/files\/2019\/03\/IMG-8441-229x300.jpg 229w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/art-museum\/files\/2019\/03\/IMG-8441-768x1007.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/art-museum\/files\/2019\/03\/IMG-8441.jpg 1772w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 781px) 100vw, 781px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1766\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Salvador Dali (Spanish, 1904-1989); Don Quixote, ca. 1964; Etching on paper from an edition of 79 of 125; Gift of Ernst Bever; 2017.10.6<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With his passion for art, Dali also shared a passion for literature. Many of his works were inspired by a variety of literature that he enjoyed reading, including <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Don Quixote, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">a Spanish novel considered to be the most influential work of literature from the Spanish Golden Age and the entire Spanish literary canon. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Don Quixote<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is about a man who loves love stories so much that he becomes a knight himself. The book travels through his journey to find the love he has read about. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This etching on paper, from circa 1964, depicts a knight in shining armor riding his noble steed. In drawing from the lively narrative, Dali uses quick and loose gestures to convey the same sense of adventure found throughout the book. This work specifically is the 79th edition of 125 and is one of several compositions Dali completed each conveying a similar subject matter.
