<p>In a style he called "minimal realism", Charley Harper captured the
essence of his subjects with the fewest possible visual elements. When
asked to describe his unique visual style, Charley responded:</p>
<blockquote>
<q>When I look at a wildlife or nature subject, I don’t see the
feathers in the wings, I just count the wings. I see exciting shapes,
color combinations, patterns, textures, fascinating behavior and
endless possibilities for making interesting pictures. I regard the
picture as an ecosystem in which all the elements are interrelated,
interdependent, perfectly balanced, without trimming or unutilized
parts; and herein lies the lure of painting; in a world of chaos, the
picture is one small rectangle in which the artist can create an
ordered universe.</q>
<cite>– Charley Harper</cite>
</blockquote>
<p> He contrasted his nature-oriented artwork with the realism of John
James Audubon, drawing influence from Cubism, Minimalism, Einsteinian
physics and countless other developments in Modern art and science. His
style distilled and simplified complex organisms and natural subjects,
yet they are often arranged in a complex fashion. On the subject of his
simplified forms, Harper noted:</p>
<blockquote>
<q>I don't think there was much resistance to the way I simplified
things. I think everybody understood that. Some people liked it and
others didn't care for it. There's some who want to count all the
feathers in the wings and then others who never think about counting
the feathers, like me.</q>
<cite>– Charley Harper</cite>
</blockquote>
<p>The results are bold, colorful, and often whimsical. The designer
Todd Oldham wrote of Harper, "Charley’s inspired yet accurate color
sense is undeniable, and when combined with the precision he exacts
on rendering only the most important details, one is always left with
a sense of awe."</p>

<p>Whereas, the brilliantly rich, colorful paintings, prints and
illustrations made by artist Charley Harper have delighted
Cincinnatians and art lovers around the world since the 1940s; and</p>
<p>Whereas, Charley Harper began his illustrious 60-year career as an
artist when he attended The Art Academy of Cincinnati, where he later
taught and inspired younger artists; and</p>
<p>Whereas, his bold, stylized images of natural scenes and his whimsical
representations of animals have contributed to Charley Harper’s vision
of "protecting and preserving nature;" and</p>
<p>Whereas, a new generation of contemporary graphic artists have been
moved and inspired by Charley Harper’s simplified, beautiful imagery
and his visionary imagination; and</p>
<p>Whereas, Charley Harper’s friendship and mentorship of graphic artist
Todd Oldham have inspired the Contemporary Arts Center to exhibit works
pairing Cincinnati’s mid-century modernist pioneers and contemporary
peers in a 15-month exhibition entitled "Graphic Content: Contemporary
and Modern/Art and Design;" and</p>
<p>Whereas, Todd Oldham describes Charley Harper’s work as "a marvel,
brilliant in a way I had never seen before," possessing a "lyrically
joyous style," "a remarkable and exquisite color sense" and writes that
"Charley’s inspired yet accurate color sense is undeniable, and when
combined with the precision he exacts on rendering only the most
important details, one is always left with a sense of awe,"</p>
<p>Now, Therefore, I, Mark Mallory, Mayor of the City of Cincinnati do
hereby proclaim Friday, December 8, 2006 as CHARLEY HARPER DAY in
Cincinnati.
