Gut
Buch, das gelesen wurde, sich aber in einem guten Zustand befindet. Der Einband weist nur sehr geringfügige Beschädigungen auf, wie z.B. kleinere Schrammen, er hat aber weder Löcher, noch ist er eingerissen. Bei gebundenen Büchern ist der Schutzumschlag möglicherweise nicht mehr vorhanden. Die Bindung weist geringfügige Gebrauchsspuren auf. Die Mehrzahl der Seiten ist unbeschädigt, das heißt, es gibt kaum Knitter oder Einrisse, es wurden nur in geringem Maße Bleistiftunterstreichungen im Text vorgenommen, es gibt keine Textmarkierungen und die Randbereiche sind nicht beschrieben. Alle Seiten sind vollständig vorhanden. Genauere Einzelheiten sowie eine Beschreibung eventueller Mängel entnehmen Sie bitte dem Angebot des Verkäufers.

Reviews
"[Houts conveys] a clear sense of [Harper's] amiable character.... [This] warm tribute offers alook behind the paint box."-- Kirkus Reviews, "After diving into a large reservoir of unpublished letters and photographs, Michelle Houts has emerged with the true story of a farm boy, WWII soldier, husband, and unique creative voice. Her well-crafted and thoroughly documented book--the first ever biography of my father--shows young readers their dreams can be realized through desire and hard work."--Brett Harper, son of Charley and Edie Harper, As a native Cincinnatian and fellow illustrator, I have been hugely influenced in my own art by Charley Harper's work.

Michelle Houts's recounting of Harper's life--his influences, struggles, and his path toward his iconic style--gave me a new appreciation for his classic pieces. Better yet, this engaging book will help other future illustrators discover his work."--Jeffrey Ebbeler, children's book illustrator and author, "Charley Harper was a magic maker. He shifted our view of the natural world, translating it into contrasts, shapes, and geometric patterns. His genius gives us a whole new understanding of abstraction, bringing the natural and material worlds--and us along with them--into sublime harmony. Michelle Houts's biography is an ideal introduction to his work for young would-be artists and naturalists."--Will Hillenbrand, children's illustrator and author

Synopsis
When you look at a bird, do you see feathers and a beak? Or do you see circles and triangles? Artist Charley Harper spent his life reducing subjects to their simplest forms, their basic lines and shapes. This resulted in what he called minimal realism and the style that would become easily recognized as Charley Harper's. Art fans and nature lovers around the world fell in love with Harper's paintings, which often featured bright colors and intriguing nature subjects.Harper's love of painting and drawing led him from the hills of West Virginia to the bombed-out villages of Europe, to the streets of New York City, and to the halls of the Art Academy of Cincinnati. How did the farm boy who didn't know a single artist become one of America's most recognized midcentury modern painters? The answer is simple. He did it by counting the wings.Count the Wings is the first book for middle-grade readers about Harper's life and work. Author Michelle Houts worked closely with the Harper estate to include full-color illustrations, plentiful supplemental materials, and discussion questions that will intrigue and engage young readers. Count the Wings is part of our acclaimed Biographies for Young Readers series, which brings smart, expertly researched books about often overlooked but exceptional individuals to school-age readers., When you look at a bird, do you see feathers and a beak?

Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe
