Product Description: 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 tomb is a beautiful tribute to Charley Harper's singular style, which he referred to as Minimal Realism.
Charley Harper: An Illustrated Life As a collector of Charley Harper art for 40 years, I think that this will be THE DEFINITIVE reference book of his career. If you collect Harper, this is a MUST-HAVE for your library. Ed Lane
Charley Harper: An Illustrated Life love it. love it. love it... what more can I say? It has it all...
Charley Harper: An Illustrated Life I purchased this book as a gift. The recipient was delighted with this book, and praised it highly.
charley harper: an illustrated life the unique wildlife art of charley harper did deserve a retrospective dais of honor, but the quality of printing is so low and disappointing... as a collector and a passionate wildlife and wildlife art enthusiast i would have bought this book anyway, but if you are looking for high quality art books, then this is not the right address/investment.

Graduation gift! My dad got this for me as a college graduation gift, and I love it. I've always wanted this book, so was thrilled when I opened it up and saw what it was :) In my opinion, the matte finish of the pages suit the artwork well. The only painting that might have benefited from a gloss finish is probably the large ladybug one where the body of the ladybug is one shade of red while the background is another shade...if you have this book and know what I'm talking about.
