Lawrence Ferlinghetti: Instructions to Painters & Poets

Feb 9, 2023-- "I asked a hundred painters and a hundred poets
how to paint sunlight
on the face of life
Their answers were ambiguous and ingenuous
as if they were all guarding trade secrets
Whereas it seems to me

a site-specific art work
an art project of the god of light
the whole earth and all that's in it
to be painted with light..."
