ArchiveOmaggio a Fellini / Homage to Fellini, 1999Mixed media on canvas, 70 x 50cmThis painting was inspired by the 1954 movie classic La Strada (The Road) directed by the Italian filmaker Federico Fellini (1920-1993). The film starred Giulietta Masina and Anthony Quinn and won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. It depicts the lives of a troupe of circus performers. Fellini also explored the world of the circus in his 1970 documentary film I Clowns (The Clowns). Fellini was interested by circuses and carnivals because to him they represented a vanishing culture which evoked a sense of nostalgia. He famously compared cinema to the circus by calling it a form of “illusion” or “mirage.” This sense of nostalgia for a disappearing way of life is also a common theme in Fioroni’s work. Dr John T.
