Charley Harper: An Illustrated Life

Autor Charley Harper, Todd Oldham
en Limba Engleză Hardback – noi 2011
Due to the popularity of the large-format and popular CHARLEY HARPER-AN ILLUSTRATED LIFE, AMMO Books has just released the same book in a smaller size at a more affordable price.Charley Harper is an American original who created his art from his home studio in Cincinnati, Ohio, until his death on June 10, 2007, at the age of 84. He 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, and his unique and precise style continues to resonate and inspire his admirers.CHARLEY HARPER-AN ILLUSTRATED LIFE showcases his illustrations that appeared from 1950-1975 in the Ford Times magazines, as well as in books such as the beloved, "The Giant Golden Book of Biology" in 1961, "Betty Crocker's Dinner for Two" in 1961, and "The Animal Kingdom" in 1968, among many others. His well-loved book, "Birds and Words," first published in 1974, is considered a classic. Remarkably, however, Charley's work has never before been published in one complete retrospective. Accordingly, this mini volume is the definitive Charley Harper book to have on your bookshelf!

Recenzii

"This gorgeously reproduced overview of the work of American modernist Charley Harper is a labor of love from Todd Oldham. ... Oldham's tribute to his hero (who died in 2007, at age 84) floats on the wings of these beautiful creatures and Harper's expressive, one-of-a-kind talent." —NPR

Descriere

Renowned New York-based designer Oldham rediscovered Harper's work in 2001, and collaborated closely with him in the ensuing years; combing through his extensive archive to edit and design this stunning monograph. This new edition is a beautiful tribute to Harper's singular style, which he referred to as Minimal Realism.
