The story of Don Quixote is a message beyond heroic or comical tales of European knighthood centuries old. The humanity of Don Quixote is a reference point to engage sympathetically with the misfits and madness in our society. We also discover elements of ourselves in the character that the artist exposes for scrutiny. It is also the artist's ironic representation of our inner desires that can be revived with Don Quixotesque vigor in the art world, or in society at large.
