Also mentioned him in the essay I wrote about Wilfried Satty for Strange Attractor since Harter is a collage artist himself in the tradition of Satty and Ernst. The only trouble with those Dover and Pepin books is you start to spot their designs in use when you're familiar with them. The Art Nouveau flourish on my web pages is from a Pepin book and I saw that recently on a poster design. This is one reason why I look for motifs from period sources as well.
