Product Description

Ladybugs, dogs, owls, otters: Charley Harper’s geometric illustrations are more than just a source of pleasure. With an endless curiosity for the natural world, especially its flora and fauna, Harper developed a unique style that has influenced generations of artists and designers. Wild Life celebrates the centennial and legacy of Charley Harper, a master of mid-century American illustration: a vast collection of works originally created as posters, magazine covers, murals, and more. Compiled by design writer Margaret Rhodes and the artist’s son, Brett Harper, this definitive monograph offers a glimpse into Harper’s creative universe and considers him anew in different contexts: as a student, a professional artist, a husband, an honorary naturalist, and a conservationist.
