    • 2018

      Charley Harper (1922-2007) legte mit seiner meisterlichen Verwendung einfacher geometrischer Formen und Muster in lebhaften Farben das Wesen jedes Vogels, Käfers, Waschbären, Otters oder Elefanten in seinen Illustrationen frei. Seinen Stil bezeichnete er selbst als „minimalen Realismus … anstatt alles in ein Bild hineinzulegen, versuche ich, alles wegzulassen … ich reduziere bis zu den einfachsten visuellen Bestandteilen, ohne die Identität aus dem Blick zu verlieren und steigere so die Intensität.“ Seine Arbeiten, eine zugleich anspruchsvolle und witzige darstellerische Annäherung an die Natur und die Tierwelt, wurden zu Ikonen der Wildlife-Kunst. Mit über 110 Illustrationen aus den Jahren 1968 bis 2007, begleitet von Bildunterschriften voller Wortwitz, ist dieses unterhaltsame Buch eine Hommage an den beliebten Künstler. Mit einem Vorwort von Brett Harper, dem Sohn des Grafikers.

      Charley Harper was an American original. For more than 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 new "mini" edition is a popularly priced, beautiful tribute to Charley Harper's singular style, which he referred to as Minimal Realism.
