A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Das legendäre Buch von Charlie Harper in einer handlichen neuen Ausgabe zu einem Superpreis. 400 Seiten farbige Abbildungen. Ebenso sorgfältig gedruckt und gebunden wie die Originalausgabe. Charley Harper is an American original who created his art from his home studio in Cincinnati, Ohio, until his death on June 10, 2007, at the age of 84. 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 continues to resonate and inspire his admirers. CHARLEY HARPER AN ILLUSTRATED LIFE showcases his illustrations that appeared from 1950-1975 in the Ford Times magazines, as well as in books such as the beloved, »The Giant Golden Book of Biology« in 1961, »Betty Crocker's Dinner for Two« in 1961, and »The Animal Kingdom« in 1968, among many others. His well-loved book, »Birds and Words«, first published in 1974, is considered a classic. Remarkably, however, Charley s work has never before been published in one complete retrospective. Accordingly, this mini volume is the definitive Charley Harper book to have on your bookshelf!
