All images shown above are from 'Charley Harper: An Illustrated Life'I won't embarrass myself by trying to comment intelligently about this eminent man's body of work. Suffice it to say, looking at this book makes me very, very happy.
The book itself is so huge that it is awkward to hold or pick up. It definitely has Presence, of the kind that should be gracing a beautiful and sizable coffee table, of which I have none. Sadly, it had to settle for the top (and then some) of a demilune table that is just not up to the job. I love to see it there all the same.
Oh my breathe....breathe....I have serious book envy now. I ADORE his art!
