Dear followers and friends, today here are some sketches, drawings, engravings, illustrations… (don’t matter how we could call them) made after title of plays: theatre, literature, movies, musicals, TV series, etc. The 8th picture is an sketch by Munch. Maybe someday I will classify each author with his most important topic, and Edvard had a life determined by deep feelings about the LOVE AND THE DEATH and this is obvious if we realize the details on his works. So, this artist made some sketches like ‘Carrion’ (dead rotten flesh) after a poem by Baudelaire, that was really awesome. Definitely THE LOVE AND THE DEATH, and these extreme sensations when they are mixed achieve a deep passion.
So, about this thought, I just want to suggest a great song ‘My skin’, composed after a real narration of a woman that realizes that her couple can’t make love with her because she is dying.
Also a dreadful and great film ‘Amour’ (maybe the best of my last ten years of cinema) about their late and deep love between an old couple.
And finally about the 12th picture, the sketch by Blake, Quentin, I linked some frivolous but delicious pictures about a literature play fitted for TV ‘Brideshead Revisited’ (perhaps this language was promoted with the lushness of british works).
Well folks, I admire your sensitivity that always you displayed like exquisite beholders. Thanks for your visit and enjoy!
Here are the sketches

By Daumier – Don Quixote and Sancho Panza trotting. The characters by Cervantes in ‘El ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha’

By Delacroix – Scene depicting the devil with Dante under the appeal of the alluring canto in his work ‘The Divine Comedy’

By Matisse – Scene of Ulysses overcoming Polyphemus the cyclop, blinding the unique eye of the giant. Drawing from James Joyce’s ‘Ulysses’

By Quagli, Giuseppe – The cemetery where Don Juan hears the voice from beyond the grave. The Mozart’s opera ‘Don Giovanni’

By Dalí – Don Quixote standing and Sancho riding his ass. ‘El ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha’ by Cervantes
These sketches are Fantastic! Dali’s Quixotte is awesome, did I see it before?? I don’t think so! It is exceptional!
Daumier was such a great artist. I remember I used to watch his work long ago. And L.N. Baskt and his drawings of the Russian ballets, i love them all. Fantatisc choices dear friend!

So true Carmen, these whirlpools depicted an special character and if Miguel the writer, he could see them, perhaps he would give his approval to this crazy but genuine and innovative drawing.
Yes, I always remembered that you love Daumier. This who inspired the Disney’s sketches.
Leon Bakst is an example about the idea of Whole Art, and reciprocal actions, between costumes, music, painting, architecture, literature, etc. that happened in Russia with the jump of 19th century towards the begin of 20th. These artists still now are inspiring the current arts. The western graphical design during some decades was copying the russian masters, but the most mass media are interested to forgetting this. Also Picasso made a lot of drawings with Bakst’s style. Thanks so much for your opinion here is so appraised. Best wishes ❤
