Destino

This 1975 Salvador Dali etching of Don Quixote has 
been hanging in my parent's house since I can remember. 
It's not a rare print, but I count it as one of my favorite 
works of art collected by my grandmother during her 
extensive travels around the world. 

In high school I borrowed a book from the local library on the art of classic Disney films, highlighting the work of many expatriate artists who brought their european sensibilities to the style and atmosphere of these films. (This isn't the same book, but from what I can tell it covers similar material). I discovered that at a certain point in time Walt Disney and Salvador Dali were discussing a collaboration on the story of Don Quixote, but the idea quickly fizzled. How regrettable for us that it did!

Luckily I FINALLY came upon a previous collaborative effort from 1948 called "Destino" that, although shelved until 2002, was finally completed in 2003. Certain elements in the 6 minute animation work better than others, but overall it is a truly lovely work of moving art, and it makes one wonder what could have been created had Dali and Disney been able to carry a project through to completion.

Hope you enjoy!
