Biodiversity in the Burbs by Charley Harper (American, 1922–2007)
Whether his subject was cats, dogs, raccoons, blackbirds, turtles, or the wonderful world of bugs, American artist Charley Harper (1922–2007) made paintings filled with color, motion, and fun. Careful study of each creature helped him simplify its form so that its unique personality shone through. Biodiversity in the Burbs features a couple dozen of Harper’s whimsical, delightful creatures.
