Pier Paolo Pasolini
The legendary filmmaker Sergei Parajanov admired the great Italian director Pier Paolo Pasolini (5 March 1922 – 2 November 1975). Pasolini (Пазолини) was assassinated while Paradjanov was in the prison in the Soviet Ukraine in 1975 (same year as Parajanov’s and Vartanov‘s friend Minas was also assassinated). Parajanov (Параджанов) was greatly saddened to hear the news of Pasolini’s death and later dedicated the above collage to him. The drawing below is from Parajanov’s series dedicated to Pasolini that’s entitled The Gospel According to Pasolini (after his 1964 masterpiece The Gospel According to St Matthew).
