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
1986
Ronald Bowers, President of the Board of County Commissioners of Washington County, Maryland, presents Mort Künstler with an official commendation on the occasion of the opening of the one-man exhibition of Künstler’s paintings entitled “The American Spirit” on October 4, 1986. The exhibit was at the Washington County Museum of Fine Art in Hagerstown, Maryland.
Like a frozen tear drop, a Mort Künstler painting captures on canvas the pathos and drama of a single moment of war. Whether it’s the poignant goodbye between Confederate Gen. Thomas J. Stonewall Jackson and his wife, Anna, or the fire, smoke and brutality of the assault on Cemetery Ridge in Gettysburg, Künstler’s Civil War tableaux teem with vitality, portraying layers of emotion and the raw wounds of battle in richly detailed, historically authentic war scapes.
