Charley Harper - Owltercation - CH-96

Owltercation depicts a flock of crows harassing an unwanted Great Horned Owl in an activity known as ‘mobbing’. While no single crow is a match for a large owl, a flock is more than capable of driving him away.

“When the great horned owl eats crow, it’s not because he’s humbled—he’s hungry. And they’re easy pickin’ in the dark when he can see and they can’t. But sunrise turns the tables, and any sighting of the flying tiger sets off the owlarm that summons a crowliferating posse to pester him. The air is clogged with crowfanities as the raucous ruckus moves from oak to maple to beech. Finally, tired and feathered, he is escorted out of town by the most direct route—as the crow flies.” Charley Harper

Charley Harper, born in 1922, was a Cincinnati-based American Modernist artist. He was best known for his highly stylized wildlife prints, posters and book illustrations. In a style he called “minimal realism”, Charley Harper captured the essence of his subjects with the fewest possible visual elements.
