A old friend sent me a series of photographs taken a few years years ago in an exhibition that used the figure of Don Quixote as a story line.
And Cervantes's work, much admired by all, has inspired not only writers but also to poets and artists of different sign. There is no doubt therefore that all those who have always had concerns about the culture have not been able to feel nothing but admiration for what he could mean "The Knight of the Sorrowful Countenance" .
In our case, the main character hero is captured by Aurelio Teno ; important artist who has devoted Cordoba much of his work to sculpt the figure of the knight errant in different parts of the world. Rescue the memory of this exhibition could not be more than a pleasure, once again demonstrating the interest and appreciation of Cervantes' hero in and out of our lands.
now transcribe the interview in its day the artist in reference to the sample.

VERY IMPORTANT HISTORY, THANKS TO 'Don Quixote' WASHINGTON For over
a week, specifically on 3 November, Aurelio Teno opened its latest exhibition, in Cordoba. Legplates for peace, in three areas chosen for its location - Delegation of Culture of the Board, the patio and garden Orive - has dazzled audience. The resulting balance is very positive views on the movement of people for different places. However
not been all positive news. This past weekend, unknown assailants tore an arm of the Quixote lyrics Dreamer sculpture placed next to other large open space Palacio de Orive. The restoration work itself is over, finished, as a security, with the approach of the pieces that comprise the assembly to the Palacio de Orive, plus a reinforcement of security measures.
- What is your career exposure of 'Quixote for peace'?
- After 30 years developing the idea of \u200b\u200bDon Quixote, starting in 1976, when I inaugurated the first monument in the U.S., I've been trapped by this character without stopping to make orders from different countries and cities such as Buenos Aires, Leganés, Pozoblanco , Nerja, Torrejón. To mark the fourth anniversary of the death of Miguel de Cervantes Córdoba I wanted to bring the best of my production for my condition Cordoba. Desire coming here is also given to support the candidacy of cultural capital and that my people can see my works. I put in to the City and County a series of sculptures, some very large and some not so much on issues of Don Quixote and the Lovely and what I think is this knight errant. Don Quixote is not what we have shown so far and we have seen in the memories, stiff and with a shield in hand.
- What is your personal view about this character?
- Don Quixote I see it as a rebellious character for justice and peace. The issue I wanted to go for the spiritual, cosmic. The first cosmonaut of Humanity was Don Quixote when mounted to Clavileño. Vision is neither good nor bad, it is personal and different from the above, with materials like bronze, steel, painting and collage. A variety of elements that I feel okay.
- What message would you bring to the public?
- I understand that art, in general, should hook up and touch the fiber. I want people here see no static Quixote. Is in motion, in absentia. I hope the public will understand and see it.
- The show follows the line of approach and acclimatization to nature?
- I have done many works that the public saw it. I rode an open-air museum in Aracena and Alcalá de Henares in which the public could admire my pieces. Art sensitizes the individual and makes it less aggressive. Since you have to get used small because everything is given by an educational problem, the lack of which caused damage to one of my sculptures.
- Quijote The interest stems from childhood?
- No. Actually I never wanted to do because I thought Don Quixote get out of the rules of what people are used to make and enter into the soul of Don Quixote is a strong challenge. Access this aspect is not raised me until I ordered the Washington Monument my Quixote, rebellious, and cosmic complaint, emerging from the Earth. It's been almost 40 years.
- "The globalization of Cervantes' work can help to convey messages of harmony to the people?
- This is because what Don Quixote is seeking peace, justice and giving a voice to the dispossessed. We are living through very difficult times, with wars, murders and bombings around the globe and that cries to heaven. Therefore I wanted to associate my peace Quixote, as it became the symbol of the dove.
- Bring your exposure to Cordoba will have been very important for being a Cordoba.
- In Cordoba I have enjoyed many honors and much more I feel very connected to the city. In appreciation of how it has treated me I brought my Quijote here and in a magical place like the garden of Orive.
- How to define the situation that is happening in art now?
- Contemporary art is always very important at all times because it is another form of rebellion against the well-known and established. When I see young people I have daring deeds make clear that I am rooting for them. It is a very important experience. Today there are a number of young people, more or less right, are making things very interesting. Nevertheless, within this world also perceive a certain opportunism, people who are worth and are aimed at the car, but this is the least is given. Betting on innovative art.
