Information

ink and pastels on paper
21 x 29,5 cm
Original drawing made by Fellini in the early 70s depicting a wonderful portrait of his lifelong friend and collaborator Nino Rota, composer of the soundtracks of almost all of Fellini's films from 1952 with "The White Sheik" to 1979 with "Orchestra Rehearsal". Artwork published in the catalogue "Federico Fellini et le cinéma de papier" on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name held in Tours, France in 2005. The most immediate expression of Federico Fellini's extraordinary imagination has always been drawing, both during the preparation of films and in those more intimate, carefree and therefore joyful moments in which, having discharged all his creative energies, he would dive into the more relaxing and liberating ones that drawing suggested to him. A slight vertical fold in the centre and three slight horizontal folds.
