from Fellini's "Book of Dreams"
Anyone familiar with the films of Federico Fellini knows that he gave importance to dreams. The extent of that devotion is fully evident with the publication of "Il Libro dei Sogni" (The Book of Dreams). These sketches, mostly done with variously colored felt-tip pens, are a reminder that when Fellini went to Rome in 1939 to study law, he was sidetracked and spent two years as a cartoonist for a satirical publication.

Federico Fellini: "The Book of Dreams"
In a dreamscape, Federico Fellini stands atop a ladder rocked by a perhaps slightly tipsy woman, who descends amid great bursts of laughter from the bystanders Fellinis wife, Giulietta Masina, and some of her girlfriends. The title says, Signor Fellini, shall we get some work done? Dreams were very important to Fellini, and after a psychologist encouraged him to record them, he did so assiduously, in sketchbooks with felt-tip pens.
