Charley Harper's artistic life was all about shape and color. He never owned or used a computer to draw. From his early days on a West Virginia farm through his career as a midcentury modernist, Charley (1922-2007) understood the power of black lines in art.
Even in his early eighties and challenged by osteoarthritis, he could still draw straight lines and keep a steady width of ink flowing from the nib of his pen for a long distance. Rather, Charley maintained a collection of drafting tools familiar to the architect and the engineer: compasses, T squares, and french curves with which he applied lines to paper via a ruling pen filled with india ink. I often watched, amazed by the skill and confidence my father had achieved after some sixty years of practice.Many of Charley's most complex images were created between the late 1970s and the beginning of this century.
