Charles Bragg (1931 – January 9, 2017)[1] was an American sculptor, painter, artist and author known best for his satirical artwork.
His parents were Vaudeville performers, and he spent most of his young life traveling on tour with them.
At 18, he ran away with his high school sweetheart, fellow artist Jennie Tomao.
His success came from the humor and satirical style of his work, which often portrayed flaws in American society.
"[2] One of Bragg's lithographs, The Screen Goddess, is featured prominently in the opening scene of the 1992 Robert Altman film, The Player.
