Remembering Charles Krafft:
September 19, 1947–June 12, 2020

301 words

Painter, ceramicist, poet, and political provocateur Charles Wing Krafft was born on this day in Seattle in 1947. Charlie was a friend of Counter-Currents from the start. He appeared on Counter-Currents Radio podcasts, attended Counter-Currents retreats, spoke at Counter-Currents events, contributed artworks for the front covers and blurbs for the backs of Counter-Currents books, and even made original artworks to commemorate H. P. Lovecraft and Francis Parker Yockey. Thus, Counter-Currents is an ideal place to learn about Charlie’s life, work, and ideas.

Counter-Currents also published a collection of Charlie’s writings and interviews last year entitled Charles Krafft: An Artist of the Right.
