What you see here is not just a #clash between contrasting personalities. It is also a merging, a duet, between two of the world‘s greatest geniuses – Cervantes and Picasso.

A modification of Picasso’s sketch of Cervantes’ don Quijote

Charles Earl Boles was an 1870s American stagecoach robber who left poems at his crime scenes, signing them “Black Bart”. One verse was:

I’ve labored long and hard for bread,
For honor, and for riches,
But on my corns too long you’ve tread,
You fine-haired sons of bitches.
