Glacier Bay, Alaska by Charley Harper (American, 1922–2007)

Charley Harper’s whimsical paintings have delighted art and animal lovers for more than sixty years. Harper (1922–2007) developed his unique style while a student at the Art Academy of Cincinnati and the Art Students League in New York City. His distinctive use of simple geometric shapes, patterns, and vivid colors—a style he defined as “minimal realism”—succinctly captured the essence of each creature he portrayed.

Harper’s posters have been published by more than fifty nature- and conservation-oriented organizations, among them the Monteverde Cloud Forest Preserve (Costa Rica), the Cincinnati Zoo, Byrd Polar Research Center, Hawk Mountain Sanctuary in Pennsylvania, Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument, the Michigan Audubon Society, the Hamilton County (Ohio) Park District, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, the Edge of Appalachia Preserve, and the Wilderness Society. Glacier Bay, Alaska, created for Glacier Bay National Park, was one of ten posters Harper was commissioned to create for the National Park Service.

Thoughtfully conceived and engagingly intricate, our 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzles combine superb color reproduction, stunning and unusual images, and sturdy construction to delight generations of novice and veteran puzzleworkers.

Charley Harper

Midcentury modernist Charley Harper (American, 1922–2007) portrayed the natural world with heart and humor. In vivid colors and simple shapes, his cardinals, ladybugs, and clever critters have become icons of wildlife art. His illustrations were published in magazines and books, notably Ford Times and The Giant Golden Book of Biology. A longtime conservationist, Harper created posters for more than 50 nature- and conservation-oriented organizations. His US National Park Service posters—massive, requiring a year each to paint—showcase delightful depictions of entire ecosystems in a style he defined as “minimal realism.” In his adopted hometown of Cincinnati, his public works are the legacy of an artist truly beguiled by the wild, one whose art was a quiet catalyst for ecological action.
