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
1978
Mr. and Mrs. Tweed Roosevelt and Mrs. Frances Roosevelt at the preview opening of a one-man exhibition of Mort Künstler’s paintings; “Old Glory’s Proudest Moments” at Old Orchard Museum, Sagamore Hill National Historic Site in Oyster Bay, New York. They stand before the Künstler painting “The Great White Fleet Sails” featuring their ancestor, President Theodore Roosevelt, during the summer of 1978.
He has cut a legendary path across the South. Like the famed Stonewall Jackson from America’s Civil War, he has captured the hearts and imaginations of many citizens. In those great Southern cities, like Winchester and Fredericksburg, Atlanta and Charleston, that seem to have a mystical aura surrounding their very names, he is well known, nearly revered. His methods of execution require talent, passion and intelligence. No, he is not Lee or even Mosby, not Grant or Sherman. He is Mort Künstler, painter, a man of art, a devotee of history.
