in 1957 pomona tile hired dorothy liebes, paul mc cobb, saul bass, paul laszlo and millard sheets to design tiles for their "distinguished designer series".
millard sheets was an artist who grew up in the pomona valley and attended the chouinard art institute. he is very well known for his murals for home savings (now washington mutual) in and around los angeles.
(pomona tile advertisement 1957)
a good friend of mine worked for Millard Sheets during the period he was doing the Home Saving and Loan buildings among other things. I remember him talking about many of these people you mention here. he also worked on the original Gumby claymations. I learned alot from my friend Woody (aka Melvin Wood). Rest in peace woody....
I also got to see the Ruth Asawa exhibit. Awesome!
