The Dessert, 1977, by Charley Harper 

Charley Harper’s The Desert was originally featured on a 
poster commissioned by the US National Park Service. The 
painting includes an abundance and variety of flora and 
fauna, from the gila woodpecker (center) to the white-
throated woodrat hiding beneath it. Nocturnal creatures 
blend into the darkness, but their eyes glow, ever alert! 
Harper made paintings filled with color, motion, and fun. 
His careful study of each creature helped him simplify its 
form so that its unique personality shone through. His work 
has been treasured by art and animal enthusiasts for 
decades.
