San Francisco California – My Fave American City

Show your love of San Francisco through this collection of fine art prints by me, Murray Bolesta. Each artwork captures the City by the Bay's unique charm—my favorite city for its colorful history, dramatic natural setting perched on hills and surrounded by water, and unique character that inspires creatives. And, of course, it's the home of my art mentor of my youth, Ansel Adams!

A City Built on Sand and Dreams...

Originally, the San Francisco Peninsula was home to the Ohlone people for thousands of years. Spanish colonizers established the Presidio and Mission Dolores in 1776, but the settlement remained a sleepy outpost. The city was built largely atop sand dunes that once covered much of the peninsula. Then came 1849—the great western USA Gold Rush transformed San Francisco almost overnight from a tiny village into a booming metropolis, exploding to 150,000 by 1870 as fortune seekers from around the world flooded through the mighty Golden Gate.

An Icon of American Culture

San Francisco's dramatic setting and distinctive character have made it a star of screen and story. From Vertigo and Bullitt to Mrs. Doubtfire and The Maltese Falcon, from Full House to Tales of the City, the city's Victorian architecture, cable cars, fog-shrouded hills, and iconic bridges have delighted audiences everywhere, cementing its special place in the American imagination.

Capturing San Francisco's Soul

My artworks reflect my affection for San Francisco:

  • Dramatic natural setting: Hills, bay views, and the interplay of land, water, and sky
