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
1992
Mort Künstler is shown here with Raymond Beck, historian for the State Capital in Raleigh, North Carolina. Künstler was on a fact-finding trip to Raleigh to research his painting, “Winter Riders.” Mr. Beck says, “As far as I know, [Winter Riders] is probably the most accurate representation of 1860’s Raleigh that’s ever been painted – and it may be the only one.”
For an artist who wants to paint events never before captured on canvas, can anything be more exciting than discovering a five-year period of intensely dramatic history, for which great research has been done but little art created? This is the Civil War for Mort Künstler.
