Description
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 in her analysis of Fellini’s films as sequences of “pictures” that draw extensively on fine art, and particularly painting, as a reservoir of visual imagery. Aldouby employs an innovative approach that allows her to uncover a wealth of connections and conclusions overlooked by Fellini scholars over the years.
Federico Fellini: Painting in Film, Painting on Film examines the links between Fellini’s films and the works of various artists, from Vélazquez to Francis Bacon, by identifying references to specific paintings in his films. Using new archival evidence from Fellini’s private library, Aldouby sheds light on Fellini’s in-depth knowledge of art history and his systematic use of art-historical allusions.

Advance Praise
“Beautifully, elegantly, and clearly written, Hava Aldouby’s Federico Fellini: Painting in Film, Painting on Film is an outstanding and wonderfully original work. The range and depth of the artistic knowledge Fellini had and that Aldouby chronicles completely debunks the public image Fellini himself created – that of a simple artisan and storyteller lacking in any profound intellectual qualifications. Aldouby’s explications of the intricate connections between Fellini’s intentions, his sources, and his ultimate artistic creations will change forever the way we see this multifaceted cinematic genius.”
Peter Bondanella, Department of French and Italian, Indiana University
“With Federico Fellini: Painting in Film, Painting on Film, Hava Aldouby has undertaken the daunting challenge of adding a new chapter to the voluminous scholarship on Fellini and succeeded admirably. Highly original, compelling, and important, it will make a striking contribution to Fellini studies and to the work on transmediality.”
