About the Artist: Charley Harper (August 4, 1922 - June 10, 2007) was a Cincinnati-based American Modernist artist. He was best known for his highly stylized wildlife prints, posters and book illustrations. Born in West Virginia in 1922, Harper's upbringing on his family farm informed his work to his last days. He left his farm home to study art at the Art Academy of Cincinnati, and there he met his wife, artist Edie Harper, with whom he had a son, Brett. He later taught at the Art Academy. In a style he called "minimal realism", Charley Harper captured the essence of his subjects with the fewest possible visual elements. He said of his approach, "I never count the feathers in the wings � I just count the wings."The results are bold, colorful, and often whimsical. The designer Todd Oldham wrote of Harper, "Charley�s inspired yet accurate color sense is undeniable, and when combined with the precision he exacts on rendering only the most important details, one is always left with a sense of awe."
