About Jim Harter

Originally self-taught as an artist, Jim Harter played a small part in creating concert posters for Austin’s Vulcan Gas Company and Armadillo World Headquarters.  Influenced by San Francisco artist Wilfried Satty, he became skilled as a collage artist, becoming a magazine illustrator and publishing two books of his surrealistic works.  His knowledge about Victorian imagery took him to Dover and other publishers where he edited many clip-art books.  Harter later published two railroad history books illustrated entirely with Victorian engravings.  He has painted using an old-master technique since 1984.  His paintings were influenced by his earlier collage work, and also owe something to Symbolism, Surrealism, Fantastic Realism, and an exposure to Eastern Philosophy.
