This canvas print is a reproduction of a drawing in charcoal from a scene in the film Red Desert by Michelangelo Antonioni. The drawing features a portrait of Monica Vitti in the title role.

Inspiration

The film was directed by Michelangelo Antonioni and starring Monica Vitti and Richard Harris. Written by Antonioni and Tonino Guerra, it was Antonioni's first color film. Set in Northern Italy, the story follows a troubled woman who is unable to adapt to her environment after an automobile accident.

Red Desert was awarded the Golden Lion at the 25th Venice International Film Festival in 1964. It has received acclaim from critics.^[2] This was the last in a series of four films he made with Vitti between 1959 and 1964, preceded by L'Avventura (1960), La Notte (1961), and L'Eclisse (1962).
