1922-2007
There is more than meets the eye in a Charley Harper Serigraph. The first
look may reveal an animal, bird, tree, some color...but then the unique
linear patterns and shapes grab you with a special Harper message of
some little drama in life taking place right before you.
Charles Harper is probably the only wildlife artist in America who has never
been compared to Audubon. And never will be. For his is wildlife art without
the fuss and feathers - minimal realism, he calls it. "I don't try to put
everything in; I try to leave everything out," he explains, adding impishly,
"I never count the feathers in the wings; I just count the wings."
Reared on a West Virginia farm he spent most of his life residing in Cincinnati.
Charley sadly passed away on June 10th, 2007. His artwork, his humor and his
kind heart will be sorely missed by all whom he has met and touched. Charley
Harper had made three personal appearances at The Frame Workshop.

2010 Art of Charley Harper Wall Calendar
Through his distinctive use of simple
geometric shapes, patterns, and vivid
colors, Charley Harper, with his self-
defined minimal realist style, was able

zebra, or dolphin to the most important
details.
As Charley said, "I don't count the
feathers. I just count the wings".

Shadow Dancers - Water Striders
Can you think of a better name for
insects that walk on water? Our ancestors
couldn't either, but your field guide calls
them water striders. They hike around on
the pond all their lives without even
getting wet feet, and in shallow water on a
sunny day their shadows sink like stones
and
tag along on the bottom. But who minds a
wet shadow? If you had wide-spread, waxy
feet that didn't break the surface film,
you, too, could walk on water. And be
famous for fifteen minutes.
The popularity of "Jesus Bugs - Water
Striders" issued in 1969 has encouraged
Charley Harper to release a sister
serigraph image in 2006. (The original
Water Strider image retails for $1,200 -
1,600 on the secondary market.)

The Art of Charley Harper - DVD
Released in 2005, "The Art of Charley
Harper - A Retrospective View"

childhood, as a soldier stationed in Europe,
through his art school years to today.
Visit Charlie in his Cincinnati design
studio as he showns his illustrations that
were created for Procter & Gamble, Ivory,
Morton Salt through his Ford Times covers
which began in the 1940's.
It was the creation of serigraph prints of
birds and animal illustrations from the
"Ford Times" that took Charley to create
illustrations for the National Park Service

by Frame House Gallery.

his beloved paintings and you'll gain
insight into the mind of this creative

Arctic Circle
It's the Survival Bowl - the Arctic Musk
Oxen vs. the Arctic Wolves - and both teams
are ready to go out there and do what they
have to do.
The oxen dudes take the field in their muu-
muus and anklets, circle 'round their
rookies and woe to the foe that rushes
their defensive line. "C'mon, wolf pack!
Make yer play! Youse bums rush like
glaciers! We'll oxidize youse guys! We'll
bury ya in the permafrost, we'll stomp ya
unda th' tundra!" How'd it end up? Sudden
death in overtime.

Armadittos
Seems like everybody's moved to the Sun
Belt, including fire ants and armadillos.
Folks are fond of armadillos, but everybody
is anti-ant. Except armadillos. They
enjoy a fiery antypasto before such
armadeli entrees as tarantulas, roaches and
worms. Armadillos can cross a river by
holding their breath and walking on the
bottom, but few ever make it across an
expressway. Armadillo offspring are always
quadrulplets, always all boys or all
girls. You could call them armadittos.
