The Poster Art of David Lance Goines: A 40-Year Retrospective

David Lance Goines

This vibrant retrospective celebrates the four-decade career of Berkeley graphic artist David Lance Goines. Its 155 full-color posters promote movies, galleries, restaurants, and concerts, in addition to other events and products. Distinctive and dramatic, the images speak volumes to the viewer's eye, evoking a mood that the brief text complements and clarifies.
Developed in cooperation with the artist, this edition features a Preface by the artist, in which he discusses his motivations and techniques, and a Foreword by Alice Waters of Chez Panisse, the Bay Area restaurant that Goines' posters have so effectively publicized to the world.
