HISTORY

Artist and writer David Lance Goines was born May 29, 1945 in Grants Pass, Oregon. He attended the University of California at Berkeley as a Classics major, but in his second year was expelled as a consequence of his participation in the Free Speech Movement. Though later readmitted, he had by then lost his taste for higher education and in 1965 apprenticed with a Berkeley printer, becoming in the fullness of time a journeyman of that Art and Mystery. He is the author of five books, collaborated on three, and his work has been the subject of six others.

His evocative posters helped define the aesthetic of Berkeley’s counterculture, beginning with his images for Chez Panisse, the artisanal French restaurant opened by Alice Waters, a former girlfriend. See less
