Lawrence Ferlinghetti California, (1919-2021) Fuck Art Let's Dance, 1995 oil on canvas Signed with Initials and dated lower right. Signed, dated, and titled verso. Provenance: purchased directly from the artist. Biography from the Archives of askART: The following is from George Krevsky, San Francisco: Artist: Lawrence Ferlinghetti Born: 1919 in Yonkers, New York Primary Residence: California Subject Matter: figurative painting Style: Abstract Expressionist Methods: all mediums Lawrence Ferlinghetti was born in New York of an Italian-Portuguese-Sephardic immigrant family in 1919. He graduated in 1941 from the School of Journalism at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill (where he worked on the literary magazine founded by Thomas Wolfe). During the Second World War he spent four years on U.S. Navy ships and commanded a U.S. Navy subchaser at the Normandy invasion, saw Nagasaki six weeks after the A-bomb, and after the War earned an M.A. at Columbia University and a doctorate in literature at the University of Paris. He began drawing from the model at the Academie Julien in Paris in 1948 and continued in the open studios of the San Francisco Art Institute in the 1950's, 70's and 80's. In 1953 he rented a large loft at 9 Mission Street, San Francisco, just vacated by Hassel Smith. Originally identifying with the New York painters of his generation, namely Franz Kline and Willem DeKooning, he pursued what he now considers a "farcical attempt" to paint in an Abstract Expressionist styleHaving reached an impasse, he stopped painting and did not pick up a brush again until the mid-1970's when he returned to figurative painting, sometimes very close to abstraction, and often combining the lyrical and the political. Since then Ferlinghetti has had many one-man exhibitions in this country and abroad. His most important solo show in Europe was at the Palace of Exhibitions in Rome (1996). In the catalogue for that show, the famous Italian art critic, Achille Bonito Oliva, characterized Ferlinghetti as "godfather of the [Italian] trans-avant garde." Lately he has been associated with European Fluxus art, with shows in Verona and Florence curated by Francesco Conz. Solo exhibitions in the United States include the shows at the Butler Institute of American Art, the Anita Shapolsky Gallery in New York, the Molly Barnes Gallery in Santa Monica, Dominican University in San Rafael, William Turner Gallery in Venice California, Kleinert James Gallery in Woodstock New York, and the George Krevsky Gallery in San Francisco.
