National Park Poster Artist. Charley Harper was an illustrator with a very interesting take on minimalism and the natural environment, and shared this vision in a series of posters for the National Park Service during the 1970s and 1980s. Some of his work can be seen (and acquired) at this site, and National Parks magazine recently ran an article about him. Very quirky, actually.
