Morton Künstler 1927 - 2025
Our 97-year-old artist, father, friend, and colleague passed away on February 2, 2025. He had a prolific life and career, yet happily said many times “I never worked a day in my life!” He is missed by all who were lucky to have known him and his paintings.
We greatly appreciate the outpouring of condolence messages and notes. Thank you.
History in Photos
1982
Famed World War II hero Admiral Arleigh A. “31 Knots” Burke is flanked by Mort Künstler and Commander Tad Damon, director of the U.S. Navy Memorial Museum in Washington, DC at the preview opening of the Mort Künstler exhibit, “Epic Paintings of World War II” held at the Museum on December 7, 1982. Admiral Burke, after viewing the forty-four Künstler paintings, wrote “To a wonderful artist - Mort Künstler - with great appreciation and admiration.”
He is the foremost Civil War artist of our time, if not of all time, because of his devotion to truth and detail in history. No one has better captured on canvas the sights, the feelings, the encompassing drama that formed the conflict of the 1860s. Many gifted wielders of the brush have given us scores of Civil War illustrations, but only Künstler has carried that skill to a level approaching perfection.
