Charley Harper - Illustrator Extraordinaire
Very Awesome
Charley Harper called his illustration style minimal realism. Of his work, he said:
I don’t think there was much resistance to the way I simplified things. I think everybody understood that. Some people liked it and others didn’t care for it. There’s some who want to count all the feathers in the wings and then others who never think about counting the feathers, like me.
I wish more industrial designer, architects, web designers, hair stylists and cooks took that quote to heart.
Mr Harper died last June, after more than 60 years of art. More of his work can be found here.
