On The Margins Of La Dolce Vita
Ele D'Artagnan was born in Venice in 1911. By 1950 he moved to Rome, living a precarious existence but able to enter into the thriving film business in Cinecittà. From the early '50-s to the early '70-s, he acted in many Italian films, including Fellini's "Toby Dammit", "City of Women", "Casanova", and "Amarcord". Between films, he lived on the streets or in a squatter's shack on the Tiber banks, and he passed the time painting, often using pieces of cardboard found on the street and a box of crayons that a schoolkid had given him. Without formal training, D'Artagnan was nonetheless blessed with an ebullient imagination, and he was able to develop a coherent and original style, combining elements of naif and psychedelia, where the bright colors and dreamlike symbolism seem to perfectly capture the spirit of the euphoric Roman Dolce Vita.
