Author: Doyle Lane
The first-ever comprehensive publication on the Black American mid-century artist Doyle Lane (1925–2002), known for his “weed pots” – delicate, small-scale earthenware vessels with colourful glazes & rich textures, widely represented in the history of California design. This retrospective brings together for the first time the breadth of Lane’s practice, including his early utilitarian pots, clay paintings, decorative objects, & the monumental tile murals he created as commissions for LA architects. Lauren Cross traces Lane’s entire artistic career, from his family heritage and upbringing in New Orleans, to his relationships in the diverse community of Los Angeles’ El Sereno neighborhood and Brockman Gallery in Leimert Park, to his innovative approach to making a living from his art. The volume concludes with personal commentary from Lane himself, from a never-before-published, in-depth interview with two fellow ceramicists in 1988.
