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.

History in Photos
1986
Hans Reinecker, publisher of Dietz Art, presents serigraphs on canvas of Mort Künstler’s Ellis Island trilogy to the White House in a ceremony in 1986. When President Ronald Reagan left office, he took the three serigraphs with him and today, the trilogy can be seen at the Ronald Reagan Library in California.
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.
