The large, black X-shaped form is a deconstruction or abstract form of a large figure, which could symbolize the windmill or the giant Don Quixote is fighting. This motif of chaos and destruction perfectly captures Dali's paranoid-critical method, while alluding to the madness and idealism of Cervantes' hero.The fixtures shown in the visuals are for illustrative purposes only and do not constitute a commercial offer.
