Description
This set of nine (9) vintage diminutive abstracted modernist lithographs (offset) by the well known and well listed American artist Charley Harper (Cincinnati, OH 1922-2007) depict various types of animals in a post card format (the reverse of each image is a postcard). Harper defined his style as "Minimal Realism". These images are all drawn in this iconic and easily identifiable style. Great composition and color; sure to be a point of interest in any room. Printed in China in 2010. Dimensions: 4.75" x 6.5". Please view our other Harper listings as they are posted.
Charley Harper was a Cincinnati-based American Modernist artist. He was best known for his highly stylized wildlife prints, posters, and book illustrations. Born Charles Burton Harper in Frenchton, West Virginia in 1922, Harper's upbringing on his family farm influenced his work to his last days. He left his farm home to study art at the Art Academy of Cincinnati, and won the academy's first Stephen H. Wilder Traveling Scholarship. Also during his time at the Academy, and supposedly on the first day, Charley met fellow artist Edie Mckee, whom he married shortly after graduation in 1947.
