"It is interesting to note the wide variety of partnerships that Gustavo managed to build: woman with two-headed monster, Batman and Robin, the seven dwarfs, princess and prince, alone men, alone women and Shrek alone. Even those who are alone in the drawing seem to be looking for someone. In a sense, these grooms looking for their bride are reminiscent of the love machine that Duchamp proposed in his Large Glass, 1923, as he said "the bride is basically an engine" and what moves her is the “gasoline of love ( a secretion from their sexual glands)”.
