Wild life: the life and work of Charley Harper

Uittreksel

"Wild Life celebrates the centenary and legacy of Charley Harper, a master of midcentury American illustration: a vast collection of works originally created as posters, magazine covers, murals, and more. Compiled by design writer Margaret Rhodes and the artist's son, Brett Harper, this definitive monograph offers a glimpse into Harper's creative universe and considers him anew in different contexts: as a student, a professional artist, a husband, an honorary naturalist, and a conservationist." -- Provided by publisher.
