About the artist.
Charles Bragg was born in St. Louis, Missouri to two Vaudeville performing parents that he traveled with throughout his childhood. He attended New York’s High School of Music and Art in Harlem and ran away with his sweetheart when he turned 18.
He studied at the Art Students League in New York and later resided in Los Angeles. Before he decided to truly pursue painting, Bragg was a cab driver, a truck driver, a stand-up comedian, and a factory worker. When he arrived in California, he began painting for the wealthy and even gave lessons. It was during this time that he began to develop satirical feelings for the upper-class he was painting.
Considered the foremost social satire artist in America, Charles Bragg is highly acclaimed for his cryptic and humorous portraits. Bragg is a spiritual descendent of Bosch, Brueghel and Daumier

Charles Bragg
Charles Bragg, born in 1931 in St. Louis, Missouri, was an American artist, author and one of the art world’s best-known satirists. His works often featured celebrities or ordinary people depicted in a humorous—and sometimes macabre fashion—across his sculptures, stories, prints, and paintings. “You observe the human race and the world, and, if you don't get a kick out of it. I think you're missing something,” Bragg once mused. Bragg attended the High School of Music and Art in Harlem before moving to California. His early visual art stemmed from commissioned portraits, and, over time, he began to inject his own political views in sharp satires of society at large, which brought him acclaim and critical success. He was the recipient of numerous honors, notably including the Gold Medal from the National Society of Illustrators as well as the Award of Merit from the Art Directors Guild of New York. Today, his works can be found in the collections of the Pushkin Museum in Moscow; the Albrecht Museum of Art in St. Joseph, Missouri; the Loch Haven Art Center in Orlando, and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, among others. Bragg died on January 9, 2017 at the age of 85.
