SAN FRANCISCO — Few figures are more beloved in San Francisco than Lawrence Ferlinghetti.
Thanks to an intimate and lovely exhibition at San Francisco’s Legion of Honor, Ferlinghetti is now cultivating a new reputation as an artist.
Ferlinghetti for San Francisco gathers lithographs, etchings, prints, broadsides, and letterpress books that the famed poet made in the latter part of his career.
Ferlinghetti always claimed painting was his first love, but poems kept getting in the way.
It is no surprise that an art exhibit by a poet and publisher goes all in on prints and works on paper.
