Artist: Charles Geer
Charles Geer might be known to readers of children’s books published from the 1960s to the 1980s–two of which he wrote himself.
To readers of romance novels, Geer’s beautiful cover art might look familiar if they are Georgette Heyer fans. The Avon paperback editions of her novels featured his stunning artwork.
Geer’s style is so distinct. There is so much going on in his images, whether sketches or paintings. His attention to detail amazes the eye. The color pops from the covers. His scenes appear dream-like yet more memorable.
