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 sence 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 reasurring 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.   The Edward Weston Collection is one of the world's premier archives of Classic Hollywood Glamour Photography. Famed art publisher Edward Weston has built his holdings over four decades through his personal and business relationships with George Hurrell, Laszlo Willinger, Jeannie Bull (C S Bull's widow), John Kobal, Milton Greene, Ted Allan, George Barris, Bert Stern, Andre De Dienes and many others. Edward Weston pioneered the emergence of Hollywood glamour photography into the decorative arts market over 30 years ago while exhibiting these works throughout the United States and Europe including the Basel Art Fair. Featuring his Marilyn Monroe Collection, the Weston Collection traveled for IPOSA throughout the United States titled "From Harlow to Monroe". Along with his classic Hollywood glamour photography, Edward Weston has published many other artists such as: Salvador Dali, Amleto Dalla Costa, Henry Matisse, G. H. Rothe, Louis Icart, Norman Rockwell, Philippe Noyer, LeRoy Neiman and Andy Warhol. Edward Weston also has accumulated one of the largest Picasso Edition Ceramics Collections in the United States; many of which are exhibiting presently in touring museums and are scheduled through 2004/2008.
