Description: Handsome vintage 1970s ceramic glazed "H T" tile, measuring approximately 4.5 inches wide by 6 inches high, featuring the famous "BACH' illustration by renowned artist David L. Goines. Very creative mix of Art Deco and Mid-Century styling, with varnished, muted earthy blues and greens against an ivory / bone toned background. Securely mounted in a nicely made solid-wood 5.75 inches by 7 x 3/8 inches frame, which also appears to be 1970s. Adopted by the California Bach Society as its advertising image. Marked / signed lower left (within the winged horse image) DAVID LANCE GOINES 1973. Both the tile and the frame are exceptionally clean, appearing undamaged. Thin grooved channel on back (would facilitate hanging); may also be displayed on a flat surface. Comes from an eclectic collection of a Newport, Rhode Island area artist. Somewhat unusual to find Goines images on ceramic tile. Please see photos as additional information / description, and feel free to ask any questions.

Goines:ARTIST and writer David Lance Goines was born May 29, 1945 in Grants Pass, Oregon, and is the oldest of eight children. His father, Warren Charles Goines (1921-2002) was a civil engineer. His mother, Wanda Burch Goines (b.1923) is an accomplished artist and calligrapher, who at the age of 87, wrote and illustrated her first published book, Bunnyfluff Wants to Fly, (Alta Bates Hospital, Berkeley, 2010). He died February 19, 2023.Goines 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.In 1968 he founded Saint Hieronymus Press in the same Berkeley printshop where he had learned his trade. There he has remained, designing his work and printing it by both letterpress and photo-offset lithography.His artwork has been reproduced in numerous professional publications, including American Illustration, Communication Arts, Graphis, How, Print, and Step-By-Step Graphics.His writing and artwork have been the recipients of many awards, most notably the 1983 American Book Award for his book, A Constructed Roman Alphabet. His artwork is represented in both public and private collections. David L.
