E11 ft. David Lance Goines

Sighs and Whispers

This week on LADY’s After Hours, fashion and cultural historian Laura McLaws Helms meets with graphic artist David Lance Goines. Incredibly multi-talented, Goines is an artist, calligrapher, typographer, printing entrepreneur, and author, yet he probably best known for the posters he illustrated for local Berkeley businesses, which have been reproduced and sold worldwide. Most notably would be the work he has done for the legendary Chez Panisse, which was opened by his former girlfriend Alice Waters—his book covers and annual posters for the restaurant helped define the visual identity of it for food lovers around the globe, in much the same way his other posters have created the visual identity of Berkeley. Goines first moved there to study Classics at UC Berkeley but was expelled in 1964 for his part in the Free Speech movement. A passionate activist and artist, Goines intimately discusses how passion, community and a lack of fear have aided him in creating a very long career doing what he loves.
