Following your bliss is not self-indulgent, but vital; your whole physical system knows that this is the way to be alive in this world and the way to give to the world the very best that you have to offer. There IS a track just waiting for each of us and once on it, doors will open that were not open before and would not open for anyone else. - Joseph Campell

Honore Daumier

I saw one of Daumier's Don Quixote paintings at the National Gallery, and really liked it.  I looked him up, and found that he's done quite a few on Quixote.   I really love them.  Daumier did a lot more than that.  The French painter was dubbed the "Michelangelo of Caricature", which he did a lot of, but also did sculpture and paintings.

I really love the Quixote pieces though.  The first one is the one I note of on my visit.
