Charles Bragg

Charles Bragg was an American artist and author, and one of the art world's best-known satirists. His works often feature celebrities or ordinary people depicted in a humorous—and sometimes macabre fashion—across his sculptures, stories, prints, and paintings.   Bragg used humor and his own political opinions to create thought-provoking paintings.  The humor in his artwork is attributed to his years of doing stand-up comedy before becoming an artist. Charles Bragg's prints and portraiture bring the undesirable qualities of American society to life; these commentary pieces on human vices are what brought his success as an artist.
