totally beguiled: "Beguiled by the Wild: The Art of Charley Harper" tickles all my funny bones. He has delighted me with not only his unique art but also whimsical description and insights into the animal kingdom. I am on a hunt for the proper bookstand to display this book, to be smiled at page by page. I am charmed. Karen of Maine
Beguiled by Charley Harper: This book is a great value for it's price. Alot of color prints and a wonderful samples of Charley's style. Charley Harper is a huge talent and this book is a wonderful example of that.
Beguiled By The Wild: This is one of the best books by a great 20th century artist, illustrator and educator. The art is there in all its beauty and simplicity. Charlie Harper was never one to go out of the way to self promote or market his name or art. He was the real package, a nice person, first, and then one of the most creative artist of the 20th century. Charlie never copied anyone and came years before the creation of the "graphic designer". He was an illustrator in the era of commercial artists not graphic designers. He proceeded the "clean" look of graphics that existed in the 1970s and 80s. In that respect he helped young illustrators and designers look for a way to simplify their approach to solving creative problems. The success of any visual artist is in the work and not the words. Take an opportunity to introduce yourself to this under exposed artist. I'm sure you'll enjoy the visual trip and get a chuckle out of his humorous comments.
Beguiled By The Wild: The Art of Charley Harper: Beautiful reproductions of many of his best pieces. If you don't have the original serigraphs, these are the next best thing. Ed Lane
A glimpse into the mind of a creative genius: These pictures are the perfect combination of art and wit-- there is a wonderful discovery on every page. Harper's captions are just as entertaining. This book enchants adults and children alike.
