Federico Fellini - Collection of drawings

The artistic production of director Federico Fellini, from a thematic perspective, can undoubtedly be ascribed to a surrealist context. The appearance of alienating elements in unusual contexts is, in fact, a peculiarity of this type of aesthetic. Surrealist aesthetics emerged around the 1920s and encompassed all fields of artistic research. In terms of the visual arts, surrealism sought to explore the human subconscious and translate it into artwork through a mechanical writing process based on dream analysis. Consequently, surrealist artworks propose the representation of a dreamlike dimension, completely dissociated from reality. The dreamlike element was a fundamental component in both Federico Fellini's drawings and his cinematic output.

Federico Fellini's drawings are an extraordinary testament to the master's poetics and aesthetics. They are filled with the themes that populate the imagination of one of the most important directors in the history of cinema. Indeed, we find autobiographical elements recontextualized in a dreamlike atmosphere, the appearance of alienating elements in plausible contexts to create a sort of magical realism, Junoesque female figures, and extravagant clothing. All of this is promptly transfigured into a dreamlike aura. Furthermore, the graphic works are also highly interesting from a formal perspective. Fellini was, in fact, a master of this type of cartoonish reproduction, which reflects his conception of life as both a dream and a game. The graphic style is swift and confident, and the washes of color complete the work with great vivacity in an execution that combines immediacy with the brilliance of an original and confident intuition.

Federico Fellini (Rimini 1920 – Rome 1993) was one of the most important directors in the history of cinema. Fellini was also a professional illustrator and comic book artist. He worked for a long time as a set designer, and as a director, he drew the scenes for his films himself. He also created two comics for Milo Manara (Viaggio a Tulum and Il viaggio di G. Mastorna, detto Fernet).
