Inspire your muse.
Make me inspired by your words,
Inspired by the picture. That's about it!
About the Artwork
"Don Quixote"- apparently sketched in only a few minutes, yet remarkably rendered- is a testament to the colossal talent of 20th Century artist Pablo Picasso (1881-1973). An unparalleled genius and innovator who profoundly impacted modern and contemporary art, Picasso co-founded Cubism, and produced an astounding 20,000 paintings, prints, drawings and sculptures during his 91-year lifetime. His body of work is so vast and complex that art historians have divided it into distinct phases.
"Don Quixote," one of Picasso's most celebrated works, has become an iconic representation of the foolish yet noble hero in Cervantes' classic fable. Although the two figures are standing still, Picasso's lines are kinetic, and adeptly express the Quixotic mix of humor, folly and dignity within the piece's central character.
"Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not."
- Pablo Picasso

Re...Picture
How can your contestant be inspired to compose a poem or disect your picture when it is too small to see everything that needs analyzation. When you say picture inspire contest it means that your pic must be big enough to see everything. -

I enlarged the picture. I also added a "About the Artwork" ...Hope that helps your muse.

This contest wills tand as one that is confirmation of attachments. Two of, miels apart, writing at the same time, come up with not the hero, but the object of his dearest wish and reason for his swiping at windmills. I find that the most awesome thing ever. Ty for the contest, for this opportunity to know there are other things at work, and for the trophy. Congratulations to all.
