This extraordinary life deserves wide attention. And, fittingly for a book about an artist, Dave the Potter is beautifully designed and illustrated…[Collier's] work is bold and textured, like Dave's, vividly capturing the earthiness of the potter's craft and the verdant South Carolina landscape outside Dave's workshop. With beautiful economy, Collier also evokes the broader world of slavery by including background glimpses of teetering shanties, rows of cotton, stooped field hands and the corner of a columned mansion.
