Charley Harper
There is more than meets the eye in a Charley Harper Serigraph. In his artwork,
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 in 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.

Shadow Dancers
Charley Harper Serigraph
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
Retrospective DVD

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

by Frame House Gallery.
Charley shares with us what prompted many of

Arctic Circle
Charley Harper Serigraph
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.

Blackberry Jam
Charley Harper Serigraph
Bears and berries, bears and berries -
go together like a horse and carriage,
invite word play and lure the addicted
punster down the primrose path. It gets
very beary in the blackberry patch when
black bears browse the briary branches bare
of - HOLD IT! I'm trying to stop. I'm out
of denial into recovery. I like bears as
much as anybody - Teddy, Smoky, Pooh, all
that crew, but...let's try it again, with
class. This time, all bare bones, bear
essentials only, and PLEASE - forbearance.

Confiskation
Charley Harper Serigraph
It happens every spring. A pair of robins makes the
front page by nesting somewhere you'd never believe. OK,
so we live in a mobile society, say the sociologists, but a
mobile home for birds? You'd expect a barn-swallow to
populate your barn, and jenny to wrenovate your clothes-
pin bag, but who'd be bird-brained enough to confiscate a
skate? But wait. Consider this: put your home on wheels
and if you can't get along with the neighbors - migrate.
