this is a slavonic Quijote

Fritz Eichenberg was an artist that chose wood engraving illustrations. His artistic social conscience drawing he absorbed from Daumier, Goya and his near contemporary, Kathe Kollwitz. Upon immigrating to America, he found work through Roosevelt's New Deal.

Some of his commissions were of the novels of Dostojevskij, Tolstoj and Turgenev. He also did many religious pieces. He was a convert to Quakerism from Judaism. He did illustrations for his friend, Dorothy Day's, Catholic Worker. Most of his works were expressive and empathetic. They exhibit a strong beauty, and affecting presence.

I have suggested my fascination for Don Quijote. Eichenberg draws the Man from La Mancha [1975] as if he was mediæval bogatyr.
