EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the art of theatrical make-up, specifically depicting the transformation of Don Quixote. The image is part of a series titled "Progressive Pictures" by Cavendish Morton, an accomplished artist from the late 19th to early 20th century. In this particular photograph, we witness the skillful process of creating characters through make-up in the world of theater. The attention to detail is evident as each step reveals a different aspect of Don Quixote's appearance. From his initial bare face to the final result, we can see how make-up plays a crucial role in bringing this iconic literary character to life on stage. Morton's work not only captures the essence of theatrical performance but also serves as an educational tool for aspiring artists and actors alike. This image was originally published in "The Art of Theatrical Make-up" written by Morton himself and released in 1909. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing self-portrait, it becomes clear that theatre is more than just words spoken on stage; it is a visual spectacle where every element contributes to storytelling. Through make-up and disguise, performers are able to transform into entirely new personas, captivating audiences with their remarkable ability to embody fictional characters like Don Quixote. This timeless photograph serves as a testament to both Morton's artistic talent and his passion for preserving the magic behind theatrical performances throughout history.
