Charles Bronson Sold at Auction Prices

b. 1952 -

Charles Arthur "Charlie" Salvador (formerly Charles Ali Ahmed; born Michael Gordon Peterson on 6 December 1952), better known as Charles Bronson, is an English criminal who has been referred to in the British press as the "most violent prisoner in Britain" and "Britain's most notorious prisoner". He has spent periods detained in the Rampton, Broadmoor and Ashworth high-security psychiatric hospitals.

Bronson has written many books about his experiences and famous prisoners he has met throughout his incarceration. A self-declared fitness fanatic, who has spent many years in segregation (solitary confinement), Bronson dedicated a book to exercising in confined spaces. He is an outsider artist; Bronson's paintings and illustrations of prison and psychiatric hospital life have been publicly exhibited and won him multiple awards.

In 2014 he changed his name again, this time to Charles Salvador, in a mark of respect to Salvador Dalí, one of his favourite artists. The Charles Salvador Art Foundation was founded to promote his artwork and "help those in positions even less fortunate than his own" to participate in art.

        Headshot with signature at upper left.  (born Charles Dennis Buchinsky; November 3, 1921 – August 30, 2003) Bronson was an American actor. He was known for his roles in action films and his "granite features and brawny physique" and starred in his first cinematic leading role in Machine-Gun Kelly (1958). Bronson had sizeable co-starring roles in The Magnificent Seven (1960), The Great Escape (1963), This Property Is Condemned (1966), and The Dirty Dozen (1967). Bronson also performed in many major television shows, and was nominated for an Emmy Award for his supporting role in an episode of General Electric Theater. Actor Alain Delon (who was a fan of Bronson) hired him to co-star with him in the French film Adieu l'ami (1968). That year, he also played one of the leads in the Italian spaghetti Western, Once Upon a Time in the West (1968). Bronson continued playing leads in various action, Western, and war films made in Europe, including Rider on the Rain (1970), which won a Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film. During this time Bronson was the most popular American actor in Europe. In the 1970’s he became the world's top box-office star, commanding a salary of $1 million per film, and in 1974, starred in the controversial film Death Wish about an architect turned vigilante, a role that typified most of the characters he played for the rest of his career. Most critics initially panned the film as exploitative, but the movie was a major box-office success and spawned four sequels. Size: 8 x 10 in.  #8142

He is an English criminal who is often referred to in the British press as the most violent prisoner in Britain and Britain's most notorious prisoner. Charlie is one of the highest-profile criminals in Britain and has been featured in books, interviews, and studies in prison reform and treatment. He was the subject of the 2008 film Bronson starring Tom Hardy, a biopic based loosely around his life. Bronson has written many books about his experiences and famous prisoners he has met throughout his incarceration. A self-declared fitness fanatic who has spent many years in segregation, Bronson dedicated a book to exercising in confined spaces. He has also cultivated a reputation as an outsider artist, with his paintings and illustrations of prison and psychiatric hospital life being publicly exhibited and winning him multiple awards. Charlie has 11 Koestler Trust awards for his art and poetry. Some people say the artwork shows the dark corners of a disturbed mind, but supporters say the scenes reflect the events he has witnessed and lived. It is art that has come straight from his soul. It was in 1994 at HMP Wakefield that prison officer Mick O'Hagan encouraged him to take up art, and his lifelong love of art has been his saviour ever since. Charles, who changed his surname as a mark of respect to one of his favourite artists Salvador Dali, is said to have drawn the madness he has come in contact with.
