Reseña del editor:

Minimal realism is how Charley Harper defined his style. I dont count feathers, he said. I just count the wings. Born in rural West Virginia, Harper (19222007) was always drawn to nature; as a boy he would traipse across the local hills, sketchbook in hand, stopping to draw whatever seized his attention. Studies at the Art Academy of Cincinnati and the Art Students League in New York City led him to his unmistakable style, which translates animals into geometric shapes and vivid colors. His work has been featured in Ford Times magazine (19491982); on posters for the National Park Service, the Audubon Society, and many other conservation organizations; and in a string of books, including Charley Harpers Birds and Words (1974), Beguiled by the Wild (1994) and the monograph Charley Harper: An Illustrated Life (2007).

Biografía del autor:

Charley Harper was an American illustrator who worked from his studio in the woods near Cincinnati, Ohio, until his death in 2007, at the age of eighty-four. 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 continue to resonate and inspire his admirers.
