\"Beyond iconizing America"s wildlife, Harper"s style was fundamental in the formation of contemporary graphic design, promoting "minimal realism" that relies on basic geometric forms and crisp lines. His sense for color shines in this high quality printing from Ammo, and the exaggerated scale shows off Harper"s eye for detail.\" ―Cool Hunting
\"If you think you"ve seen the work of Charley Harper, then Todd Oldham"s new compendium of more than 300 previously unseen animal illustrations will be a breath of fresh fauna.\" ―Herman Miller\"The artist, based in Cincinnati, began his career around 1950. In an endearing style he called “minimal realism,” he caricatured and simplified flora and fauna―and sometimes humans―for magazines, posters and books. Though for decades he enjoyed a following among art collectors as well as commissioning art directors, his fame really blew up when he collaborated with designer Todd Oldham in the early 2000s.\" ―Wall Street Journal

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.

Minimal realism, he called it, and his unique and precise style continue to resonate and inspire his admirers.
