Close to one hundred figurative drawings in black and white, and in colour, mostly nudes in love or strife, some 'disastered by life', some with incisive or caustic words integrated in the images. This is a retrospective of Ferlinghetti's graphic work and play, ranging from his early drawings done in Paris, to yesterday's sessions in his San Francisco studio.
Lawerence Ferlinghetti is the famous Beat poet and painter who founded City Lights Books in San Francisco. His most recent books are How To Paint Sunlight (poetry) and Love in the Days of Rage (fiction).
