I would have to disagree with this. It's predicated on the Romantic notion that "it's all about self-expression, man...!" Earlier generations of artists, for whom it was a trade, learned through apprenticeship, and who worked to commission, would not have thought so.
If Fellini is talking primarily about his own art, fine; but one can't extrapolate from that to the general level.
