ImageMagick includes its own GUI:

man display

And see:

man ImageMagick

for a complete list of ImageMagick programs.

The GUI is rather basic -- it is not meant as a anything like a
replacement for the likes of GIMP or xv or any of the other other image
display and manipulation programs out there.  ImageMagick is meant to
be a *CLI* workhorse.
