Book Reviews of Charley Harper: An Illustrated Life
Book Review: Charley Harper: An Illustrated Life
Summary: 5 Stars
This version of //Charley Harper: An Illustrated Life// is a smaller, less expensive reprint of the $200 version originally published in 2007. The 2010 release has all the pages of the original, at about half the size and weight. Charley Harper was an illustrator for decades, doing commercial work for places as diverse as Betty Crocker, Ford Motors and Golden Books (all of which are represented within this book.) From ads to illustrations, Harper used what is called "Minimal Realism," using the fewest lines to get across the image at hand. //Charley Harper: An Illustrated Life// has hundreds of examples of his highly diverse output, but each done with his signature style. A great reference book for artists, a great coffee table book for art and Americana collectors.
Summary of Charley Harper: An Illustrated Life
Charley Harper was an American original. For over six decades he painted colorful and graphic illustrations of nature, animals, insects and people alike, from his home studio in Cincinnati, Ohio until he passed away in 2007 at the age of 84. Renowned New York based designer Todd Oldham rediscovered Charley'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 coffee table tome is popularly priced, beautiful tribute to Charley Harper's singular style, which he referred to as Minimal Realism.
