He painted animals from all continents, both wild and domestic, and created now famous posters for organizations that care for and protect animals. He combined his talent with a respect for the world s creatures to create artwork that has delighted animal lovers for decades.Harper grew up on a farm in West Virginia and studied at the Art Students League of New York and the Art Academy of Cincinnati. In 1947 Harper and his wife, Edie, went on a six-month journey through the United States. While at the Grand Canyon, he understood that realism couldn t capture its immensity. Harper decided he must reduce what he saw to its simplest forms a decision that led directly to his self-described minimal realist style. His classic animal artwork that uses clear geometric forms is perfect for a set of coloring books.Inside are twenty-two pages of Charley Harper s playful animals, with his full-color illustrations featured on the inside of the front and back covers. Don t forget about the blank pages at the end we ve left them there for you to draw the animals you find in your world.
