Abstract


Don Quixote’s adventures were a recurrent subject among the artistic production made by the Spanish artists in exile after the Civil War. This article analyses in depth the case of the painter and draftsman Augusto Fernández Sastre (1887-1975). Firstly, it situates his work in the context of the exile production around Don Quixote. Secondly, it studies his life and work in detail during the exile. Therefore, the paper recovers the figure of the forgotten artist Augusto Fernández in order to explore the use of this subject in the fine arts during the Spanish exile.
