A catalog of a delightful and very Felliniesque drawings by the master Italian film director, now on view in conjunction with a film festival at the Guggenheim Museum, New York Federico Fellini, the master of the Italian art film, was an active visual artist for whom drawing was integral to the creative process. Fellini's funny, grotesque and irreverent sketches of faces, voluptuous women, costumes and larger scenes Fellini fans will recognize reveal an obsession with line and form. Rarely viewed sketches for his films, excerpts from his illustrated dream journals, and a late body of erotic drawings set new, ever larger boundaries for the Fellini vision. Fellini's lifelong affinity for the comic strip is seen in a range of works which were conceived as films but ultimately realized as strips and graphic books. The remarkable body of drawings, cartoons, and caricatures in this catalogue attest to the primacy of drawing in his technique and provides a new insight into the working mind of a film genius.

From the publishers of Spaghetti &amp; Stars and CafA of Stars comes the retro (and prescient) Airports &amp; Stars, a collection of photographs of Hollywood actors, royalty and other celebrities from the golden age of Italian film--the 1950s and 1960s--arriving in Rome, back when comings and goings were event enough to merit a flash, and when the photographers who are now known as paparazzi could walk right up to the airplane steps. Here those independent lensmen--a profession and a genre born in the era documented here, one on the forefront of new realism and photojournalism--capture the salutes and waves, flamboyant and discreet, of Rome's stars as they descended to earth, seizing the mythical something that they seemed to bring with them from the sky to terra firma. Each arrival was a striking performance on a then-novel stage, and the work of paparazzi has preserved this invaluable slice of la dolce vita. Perhaps by bequeathing these charming and glamorous moments to history and extending their subjects' fame into the next century, the paparazzi make amends for all the compromising snapshots with which they troubled their famous subjects, and for spawning the multinational empire of celebrity spy photography that dominates today's news media.

Leonardo DiCaprio loves pasta, and in that, he's not alone. Spaghetti &amp; Stars--the latest volume in the successful series which also includes Caff &amp; Stars and Airports &amp; Stars--collects many previously unpublished photographs of the age's biggest celebrities, caught by paparazzi on movie sets and in sidewalk restaurants in Rome, enjoying meals that give them the energy to pursue la dolce vita. In Spaghetti &amp; Stars--a record of funny, exuberant moments in a more glamorous time--we see the most famous faces of the 1950s and 60s being filled with good food: Italian film legends De Sica, Fellini, Mastroianni, and Magnani join French stars Belmondo, Aim e, and Moreau, and Americans Rock Hudson, Cary Grant, and Ginger Rogers in partaking of Italian mealtime traditions. Dean Martin and John Wayne hover over a pan with eagerness, literally putting the "spaghetti" in the spaghetti Western's set. And no one looks more radiant than Sophia Loren, even as she's holding aloft a fork full of draping pasta.
