Question: looking for a particular graphic artist

I am looking for the name of a graphic artist who was featured in DWELL early this year. From the 50's (more or less), very modern and minimal drawings of insects and nature. It is a man, and I am pretty sure he was American. Anyone know this?

Alvin Lustig?

Aha - Dwell has archives of people they've featured. Alvin Lustig's one of them.

Perhaps Charley Harper?

Here's Charley's Dwell profile.

Thanks-it is Harper, but Lustig is equally as fascinating. Thanks for the new discovery!

Cool. I would love to have a book filled with mid-century graphic artists.

Harper just died on June 10th, this year.
