Markus Pierson
Markus Pierson was born in 1961 and grew up in the small farming town of Grand Ledge, Michigan, where his father owned a popular restaurant. A self-proclaimed “racer,” Markus was the youngest and most challenging of the four Pierson children. While he was a student, an encouraging art teacher opened the door to Markus’ talent and deeply moved him. However, the Grand Ledge art scene was somewhat lacking, leading Markus to take on a number of odd jobs before stumbling upon accounting as a means of making a living. After a near-fatal battle with Crohn’s disease in early 1985, he declared the accountant “dead” and in his place was a man pursuing his dream of becoming a successful artist. The Coyote series was born in June 1986, after Markus heard the Joni Mitchell song “Coyote.” He loved it, played it often, and memorized the lyrics. The song’s central theme, a guy named “Coyote,” is a reckless, free-spirited Casanova type of guy—Pierson aspired to be the carefree novelist described in those lyrics. Then he did something he’d never done before or since: Markus drew a song. For the next six months, Markus painted billboards by day for a living and drew his Coyotes by night. On the wall above his desk, he taped these words: “No one works as hard and as smart – and it comes to nothing.” Within a year, he was leaving Artexpo in New York with engagements from 110 art galleries looking to represent his work.

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
His work is found in the collections of at least 20 international museums, including thePushkin Museum, Moscow, USSR - Galleria d' Arte, Moderna de Milano Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, Holland - Dayton Art Museum, Ohio - DowneyMuseum of Art, California - Long Beach Museum of Art, California - Wichita State University Collection - Roswell Museum Collection, New Mexico - Canton Art Institute, Ohio - Loch Haven Art Center, Orlando Florida - University of Wyoming Museum of Art - The Albrecht Museum of Art, St Joseph, Mo - St Lawrence University, Canton, NY - Gibbes Art Center, Charleston, SC - Kalamazoo Institute of Arts, Michigan ¬University of Judaism, Los Angeles, Ca - Joslyn Art Museum, Omaha, Nebraska - Tyler Museum of Art, Tyler, Texas - Joseph Hirshhorn Collection, National Gallery of Design...
