More Fellini
– Yesterday I highlighted some of Federico Fellini‘s cartoons. I thought I’d pick out some of the drawings he made of the people in the pictures he was making.
A lively exuberance fills almost every image – not unlike his films of the period. My favorite drawing, though, is the portrait of Nino Rota, his composer and dear friend. There’s an enormous sensitivity there.
