SALVADOR DALÍ I DOMÈNECH, "Don Quixote and the Cosmic Eye"
Record status
Individual type · partial
Period
1975
On the back, entitled "Dalí at work", Dalí has made a series of quick, calligraphic drawings in blue ballpoint pen ink. The drawn elements are: the schematic representation of Don Quixote, with lance and shield (Dalí was obsessed, throughout his life, with Cervantes' character); a cosmic eye from which parabolic lines radiate, landing on a small planet drawn with a spiral.
The postcard is dated with large numbers "1975", written in his characteristic handwriting.
