Charley Harper · An Illustrated Life

Charley Harper is beloved for his delightful, graphic, and often humorous illustrations of nature, animals, insects, and people alike. Charley liked to say that when he paints a bird, he doesn’t count all the feathers in the wings—he just counts the wings. Minimal realism, he called it. An Illustrated life showcases his illustrations that appeared from 1950-1975 in the Ford Times magazines, as well as in books such as "The Giant Golden Book of Biology" and "The Animal Kingdom", among many others. Charley’s work has never before been published in one complete retrospective. Accordingly, this massive volume is the definitive Charley Harper book to have on your bookshelf!
