Opis

Federico Fellini professed a desire to create an entire film made of immobile pictures. In this study, Hava Aldouby uses this quotation as a launching point to analyze Fellini s films as sequences of pictures that draw extensively on art history, and particularly painting, as a reservoir of visual imagery. Aldouby employs an innovative pictorial approach that allows her to uncover a wealth of visual evocations overlooked by Fellini scholars over the years.Federico Fellini: Painting in Film, Painting on Film sheds light on the intertextual links between Fellini s films and the works of various artists, from Velazquez to Francis Bacon, by identifying references to specific paintings in his films. Using new archival evidence from Fellini s private library, brought to light for the first time here, Aldouby draws out Fellini s in-depth knowledge of art history and his systematic employment of art-historical allusions."
