The Art of Charley Harper: Creatures Wild and Tame takes an in-depth look at the work of the beloved mid-century modern artist, designer, illustrator, and nature advocate. Harper’s “minimal realism,” as he called his style, is deceptively simple, reducing nature to essential characteristics in elegant, witty, vividly colored imagery that breathes with life and personality. Deeply committed to wildlife conservation, Harper created dozens of now-iconic posters for the National Park Service and nature organizations. Featuring more than 140 of the artist’s drawings, gouaches, collages, screen prints, paintings, and posters, Creatures Wild and Tame and its accompanying catalogue (published by D. Giles Ltd) reveal the backstories behind Harper’s celebrated work.
