ARTWORK
Todd Oldham’s new monograph on Charley Harper (1922-2007),
mentioned here last February, is a winner in every sense of the word.
From the lavish packaging, beautiful print quality and exquisite collection
of artwork, the book is everything a Charley Harper fan could want.
Michael Bierut at Design Observer has some incisive thoughts about
Harper in this piece entitled “Flat, Simple and Funny: The World of
Charley Harper. About the new book, Bierut makes this observation: “…
it’s beautifully produced, a clear labor of love for designer-author
Oldham. But as a tribute, it struck me as somewhat ill-fitting, just too
over-the-top and lavish for a humble, softspoken designer who claimed to
be unable to draw a straight line without a ruler or a circle without a
compass.”
