Birds & Words is a true reflection of Charley Harper, that rare
species of a man with twinkling eyes and smile, with wit as
infectiously keen and light-hearted as his paintings. Harper the
humorist is as captivating in the self composed stories that
accompany his serigraphs as Harper the artist. This boxed reissue
of the highly collectible 1974 classic is perfect for every bird
lover, art collector and Charley Harper fan alike. Specially made
cloth wrapped boxes open to reveal a numbered cloth bound book and
one of four beautiful silk-screen prints, each estate stamped and
hand numbered. A perfect gift for any occasion.
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.
This sketchbook gives you the opportunity to learn how Harper
captured his subjects with the fewest possible visual elements. For
each of the twenty-eight birds featured herein, weve included a
four-page presentation. On the first page, you will find line
drawings that show a three-stage process for recreating Harpers
image. The line drawings build on each other the first one presents
the most basic shapes, the second further develops the form of the
bird, and the third com-pletes the image with all the details.
