+ THE STORY

Charles Bragg had a gift for finding the ridiculous hiding inside ordinary human behavior. His Seven Deadly Sins series takes familiar moral ideas and turns them into theatrical characters — part caricature, part social commentary, and part uncomfortable mirror. “Sloth” is a perfect example: it isn’t merely about being lazy. It is about the strange human ability to turn doing nothing into an art form. A good satirical image doesn’t simply make fun of someone else — it makes recognition unavoidable. The technical detail draws you in; the humor keeps you there.

+ WHY WE CHOSE IT

Because a signed Charles Bragg engraving from the Seven Deadly Sins series is a specific and serious fine art find. Because satirical art that rewards close looking and makes recognition unavoidable is increasingly rare. Because some jokes are funniest when they know your name.
