Art: Charley Harper at Phyllis Weston Gallery
Works never previously exhibited by the late Charlie Harper, one of Cincinnati's favorite artists, are on view at Phyllis Weston Gallery. Many of the pieces are originals, rather than the prints we usually see of Harper's work, and subject matter includes much more than just the artist's familiar birds. "Many of the works are watercolors and most are small," Weston says. "There are also signed prints and collages."
