Fellini and Picasso paired in exhibition at Museo Picasso Málaga

Federico Fellini (1920–1993) kept a lifelong habit of sketching grotesque drawings with commentary, a practice rooted in his early career as an illustrator and caricaturist. Even as cinema became his primary medium, he never abandoned drawing on paper. Between November 1960 and August 1990, he filled two volumes known as the "Libro dei sogni" (Book of Dreams), recording his dreams in words and images. In these notebooks, Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) appears three times. Now, the Museo Picasso Málaga presents an exhibition exploring this dream world, organized in collaboration with the Fundación Almine y Bernard Ruiz-Picasso para el Arte and curated by art historian Audrey Norcia. The show brings together a selection of Fellini's drawings, films, photographs, and documents alongside paintings, sculptures, and drawings by Picasso, highlighting shared sensibilities and obsessions such as transgression, sexuality, the celebration of life, exuberance, and metamorphosis. The exhibition runs from February 13 to May 13, 2018, at the Museo Picasso Málaga, Palacio de Buenavista, C/ San Agustín, 8, Málaga, Spain.
