{"product_id":"queen-of-hearts-ball-15x24-special-poster-1977","title":"Queen of Hearts Ball","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 1977 event poster represents a significant example of David Lance Goines's mature graphic style, executed during his most prolific period at Saint Hieronymus Press in Berkeley, California. The work demonstrates Goines's characteristic synthesis of Arts and Crafts movement principles with Art Nouveau sensibilities, filtered through a distinctly Californian aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe commission originated from COYOTE (Call Off Your Old Tired Ethics), the sex workers' rights organization founded by Margo St. James in 1973. The event's programming, which included R. Crumb and the Cheapsuit Serenaders, positions this poster at the intersection of multiple Bay Area counterculture movements: the poster art tradition, underground comix, and progressive activism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGoines's technical approach is evident in the economical four-color printing, the precise hand-lettered typography with characteristic dot separators, and the symmetrical composition derived from traditional playing card iconography. The mirrored queen figure holding a rose exemplifies his ability to imbue commercial work with enduring aesthetic value.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24.0\" x 14.75\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e David Lance Goines\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good, Age-appropriate wear, fading and toning.
