Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, created by Miguel de Cervantes, form literature's most iconic duo, representing the conflict between idealism and realism. Quixote, a delusional nobleman, seeks knightly glory, while his squire, Sancho—a practical, witty peasant—provides grounding reality. They travel together on adventures, with Sancho frequently trying to temper Quixote’s fantastical delusions. Bert Pumphrey was born in 1916 and had an art scholarship to the University of California. He had a one-man show at the Palace of the Legion of Honor in San Francisco in the late 1940s, and moved to Mexico soon afterwards, where he has lived and painted ever since. An artist with very definite ideas of his own, Pumphrey has almost entirely rejected the traditional square or rectangle as the basic shape for a painting. BM#200 563/E2367
