Biography
Born Charles Lynn Bragg in 1931, He is 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, all of whom
lampooned the foolish elements of society. H.L. Menken said,
"Nothing can come out of an artist that is not in the man."
Charles Bragg is a case in point, combining a strong sense of humor
with thought-provoking opinions.
 Charles
Bragg is a devoted student of the human race. As one of the master
observers of contemporary times, he and his little figures have
etched their way into the American heart. His is a unique perspective
on the human comedy-it is the reassuring viewpoint of the fellow
traveler. If you recognize yourself in a painted expression on one of
his character's faces-a look so precisely rendered that your empathy
is spontaneous and unconscious-it is because Bragg has been to the
mountain and suffered that big of tangled reality himself. He is the
constant observer, but never the innocent bystander.
