Charles Wing Krafft (September 19, 1947-June 12, 2020), "the dark angel of Seattle art," was an American painter and ceramicist, as well as a poet and essayist. Straddling the worlds of fine art and "lowbrow" art, Krafft began as a painter of the Northwest School but in the 1990s became famous for his dark and ironic Delft-style ceramics depicting weapons, disasters, and dictators, which were featured in galleries, museums, and exhibitions around the world. In the last fifteen years of his life, Krafft became an increasingly outspoken Holocaust revisionist and white advocate. He died in 2020 after a two-year battle with cancer.
